I inserted pics in a drawing using copy and paste and also the insert raster command and they show when I print in my printer a sample 8 1/2 x 11. When I removed the pics to another folder, they do not show on the drawing. Can I make a plt file to send the printer company if they don't have the pics in their computer? How can I have the pics permanently in the drawing? Thanks

Robert,
I do not know of a way to make your images a permanent part of the autocad drawing but.... there are a couple of options when you insert your images:
Full Path
Relative Path
No Path
Use the "No Path" option. This option forces AutoCAD to search the directory the drawing is located in to find the images.
---------------------------------------------------------
To update the paths to the images you can try the -image command and use the PATH option:
This updates the path name (including file name) associated with a particular image. This option is useful if you change the location of an image file, rename the file, or replace an old image file with a new file; for instance, you can update image01.pcx and save it as image02.pcx.
Enter list of images for path modification: Enter an image name, or enter * to list all images
If you enter an asterisk (*), the following prompt is displayed:
Old path: Lists the current path name for each image
Enter New path: Enter the new path name for the specified image
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, there is a new program at Cadalyst.com. You will find it by selecting "Get the Code" on their web site and then look for the May installment of "Hot Tip Harry". It is this months top tip. This program solves the pathing problems with XREFS. I have not looked at the code but you may be able to modify it to change the paths to images.
Hope this helps,
Jeff Sanders

Robert,
I forgot to mention, Use the IMAGE command to bring up the Full Path, Relative Path, or No Path options.

Robert,
Sorry, but I thought of another option for you. Have you tried printing through the Adobe PDF driver? You can make 1 PDF file that contains your drawing and all of your images. This would make it very easy for you and your customer. Simply email him/her the PDF file.
