To insert a picture into AutoCAD:
Click on the INSERT pull down menu and select IMAGE MANAGER. A dialog box will open similar to an XREF dialog box. Select the ATTACH option and locate the file the same as you would any reference file (browser based search). When you have found the file, select OPEN. The dialog box will prompt you to do the following:
Insert at a specified coordinates or by choosing a point on the screen
Insert at a specified scale (in all directions)
You can define these or default and insert on the screen. The image will have grips at the corners and can be scaled as needed.
There is a REFERENCE tool bar that will allow you to manipulate the image.
The image cannot be permanently attached or bound to the file as a reference file can. I will always remain a separate entity and have to be pathed to the file to appear.

There used to be an option in the express tools for autocad that allowed you to "pack and go". This basically meant that any file that belonged with a drawing could be packed with it when it was sent somewhere.
Check into the: Autodesk: AutoCAD
ask there some one should be able to point you to the required software.
