    Embed linked JPG

    You can embed an image file as an OLE (Insert > OLE Object...). I'm not so sure that's the best way to go though... You may need to convert the .jpg to a .bmp first. ____________________ Civil 3D 2008, Terramodel

    ACAD 2009 - Match properties from xref

    What properties were you hoping to match? Try typing (entget (car (nentsel))) and picking an entity in the xref. This should give you a list of the entity's properties, which can be stripped and assigned to another entity that belongs in the dwg. I'd be glad to help more if you know what...
