Dxf image

(OP)
Hi there

I'm inserting a raster in Acad, but when I safe it as a dxf file and reopen it, the image is no longer there. I tried copying the image and paste it in Acad, but still no luck. can anybody help me with this?

RE: Dxf image

Raster images do not become part of the AutoCAD drawing file, they are only referenced in.  So likewise they are not part of a dxf file.

Does the "copy and paste" method change the image from being a reference/attachment to somehow inserted (such an an OLE object)?. Can check this with Image Manager, does the image show as an attachment.
