- OLE stands for Object Linking and Embedding and was a way of embedding one document inside another and I believe was originally devised by Microsoft. A typical example of where it will not work on a Mac is when a Visio or Project document is embedded inside a Word document as even though obviously a Mac can read Microsoft Word files it cannot.
- Aug 29, 2007 Images, OLE Objects and wipeouts are the culprits I will address today. For example - you have a drawing with an Excel table in it. The table was inserted with a simple copy/paste - which makes it an OLE object.
Attaching an image file into your AutoCAD drawing only inserts it as a reference, which means always sending the image file along with the AutoCAD drawing. (What a hassle!) Join Autodesk Technical Evangelist Lynn Allen as she shows you how to embed an image file so it becomes part of the drawing file!

Hello there, this is Lynn Allen. Thank you for joining me for another AutoCAD tip, courtesy of Cadalyst magazine. Hope your week is great so far. I received an email from someone asking if there was anyway to insert an image into an AutoCAD drawing file so that it was embedded and not just attached. If you've ever done this before, you know what talking about.

Let me just make sure we are all on the same page just to make sure you know what I'm talking about. I'm going to attach the Autodesk logo. Why not? This is the way most of us normally do it. Drop it into place. Easy enough. I'm going to go into the Xref Manager, and you will see that it's referenced. So it's not really embedded inside the drawing file. Well, that's a drag.
Let me come back out here and let's erase that, right? Then we'll go back into the Xref Manager, and so you know I have nothing up my sleeve, let's do a right-click and detach it.

He has a solution that I would have never come up with. What a genius idea. What you are going to do is go to the image file, like Internet Explorer, for example. Do a right-click and you are going to go to Edit. More than likely it's going to bring it up into Paint, or you can go to Paint directly and open the file.

I'm going to go back over to my AutoCAD drawing file. Let's go over to the Home tab on the Ribbon and the Clipboard panel, and I'm going to do a Paste Special. My default is going to want to insert it as a Paintbrush Picture. Totally fine with me. Hit OK. Download adobe cs2 mac. Then simply place it just like we did before. It looks pretty simple and pretty straightforward. Now if I go into the Xref Manager, you will see that it did not come in as an attachment. It's actually physically embedded into the drawing file. Awesome! So, so clever.
