AutoCAD raster image to Powerpoint

AutoCAD raster image to Powerpoint

(OP)
How can you insert an AutoCAD raster image (.dwg) into a Powerpoint presentation?

RE: AutoCAD raster image to Powerpoint

We have found the best way is to export the dwg as a WMF file (WMFOUT) and import the wmf into OLE applications. We use a program called BetterWMF which gives us great control of the WMF output.

RE: AutoCAD raster image to Powerpoint

I have found that the best way for us is:

1) make the Autocad background white
2) resize the Autocad screen until the objects just fit
3) select all the objects
4) go Edit/Copy
5) in Powerpoint, go Edit/Paste Special/Windows Metafile, NOT a link.

This works in Word, etc also.  Changing the background to white is not needed for all styles of PasteSpecial, but for some and for some applications it is needed.

IFRS-

Yep. That's the way I do it too. And the price is right!
