How to Properly Insert High-Re
This is something I consistently have issues with and and have come to the conclusion that I just must not know the correct way to do it.I am using AutoCAD 2011 LT.
Windows 7 32-bit
3 GB of RAM
For my current task I have to insert high-res pictures onto a set of floorplans.
My process is as follows.
- Locate image from Vendor Website
-Copy image through windows Clipboard (CTRL+C)
- Paste into DWG File through Clipboard
- grab the corner to scale it down to size because it always comes in huge.
Some of the Issues I am encountering.
- Object is inserted as OLE object. I cannot insert as Block or any other Paste Special option besides Bitmap
- I cannot copy the object throughout the drawing
- when I reopen the file after saving OLE objects are gone or just white square
- I cannot view object in a viewport
I have looked around but and tried a couple of the recommended processes but none seem to work. I am no running into brick walls getting Unhandled Exceptions and now Fatal Errors.
I understand there is a possibility of my workstation being an issue but I must attempt the correct procedure before advising my higher ups that the hardware cannot handle it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! You can use Paint to drop the image colour depth to say 16bit from the 24bit or 32bit you are probably currently wrestling with. This reduces image "weight".
