Experience I've been in the 3D/2D CAD industry for over 10 yrs. & also had the opportunity/exposure to work with several mainstream design platforms including Helix Design Systems to Land Desktop.
Question I have bmp in one layer, and vector dwg over that, in another layer. Want to print this dwg file via friend's printer. My bmp is in the some folder for example: f:acadmppicture1.bmp. When my friend open the dwg file, my bmp isn't visible, there is only a rectangle fith path. When copy all, dwg and bmp on CD, or DVD, letter for CD or DVD device is not the same, as my CD. Is it only way to make copy, adjust "by hand" path, both: dwg file and bmp in one unique folder C:acadmp (each computer must have C:)and in these case it will work.
Answer Another way you can do this is to embed the bitmap image inside your drawing. To do this, open the bitmap thru 'Paint', Edit/SelectAll & Edit/Copy fr the pull down menu. Switch to your Autocad session, Edit/Paste then specify insertion point. Hope this helps! Let me know..
