All images and PDFs must be separate linked files, called ImageRefs. When exported, they should link automatically as long as the images are in the same folder as the DWG.<BR /> <BR /> Our office has revised our logo, and even signatures on the sheets to be a vector format (lines and fills), so they translate easily.<BR /> <BR /> Just one reason I'm happy to not be using AutoCAD anymore!
