Moving a Adobe Illustrator image into Autocad 2000

Moving a Adobe Illustrator image into Autocad 2000

Moving a Adobe Illustrator image into Autocad 2000

(OP)
Hello
Can someone help with this problem. I have made an image (company logo) in Adobe Illustrator10 and want to move it into Autocad. Illustrator has a "save as" selection for the DWG format. But, the logo when in Autcad is some 200 inches long.
What in Illustrator can I do to ensure a correct size? Scaling in Autocad does not seem to save the crispness of my text (which has been converted to outlines) or some line art. Is there a better format to save my file as??
I would like to save the transparancy but I don't think that is possible.
Any thoughts... advise??
Thanks
Ralph

We save our logo as jpg and insert it into Autocad, scaled as necessary to fit the title block

Thanks.... I have done that but was hoping for a solution that saves the "vector" format and thus is scalable when the drawing is scaled to a different size.

RE: Moving a Adobe Illustrator image into Autocad 2000

as long as the frame for the image is on and the layer is not locked, then the image should scale (when included in the selection set) with the rest of the drawing.
