Inserting and plotting graphic help wanted

In ACAD 2000i (actually, LDDT 2i) I am having a bit of a problem with
graphics. I create survey or site maps, and they plot fine. I take a small
site location map, save it to Clipboard, and insert it as an Image Entity in
the drawing (in paperspace). That will plot fine as well. However, I
recently ran into a problem where I needed to transfer the drawing in its'
entirety to another surveyor,and the image entity did not accompany the
drawing, as it seems to reside in a temp file with a link to the file in the
drawing. I also can't see the image, only a box with a temp file name in
it, when I look at the drawing on another workstation.

How do I get a JPG or other image file to become a permanent part of a
drawing file, and be able to resize it and move it around so that it does
not lose the aspect ratio?

 

Images in AutoCAD are treated in similar fashion to External References
(XRefs). You must supply the main file as well as all of the referenced
files when you transmit a project to others. There's a tool called eTransmit
that will assist you in making up the package.

There is something I would like to add:
Images are much like XREFs in that they are attached and referenced and are
not really part of your drawing. When you keep images in a separate folder
than your drawings, it works pretty well until you want to share your
drawings with other businesses. If this sounds like you, then you need to
do one of two things. Either you tell the other party exactly where the
image you send has to go, or you remove the saved path and place the image
in the same folder as the referencing drawing. Do that, and your surveyor
friends should have much less problem seeing the image in your drawing.
Take care
