Any way to export dwg with images retaining their name?

Hi,

All images get renamed to "Pasted image #no blah blah blah"

I'd like them to retain their name but don't know what setting to use.

As far as I can tell, this is not possible. You can only choose to convert them to a different format.

 

Seems silly, but I can't find any setting either to retain name or define a naming convention.

Kind of suspected that. Silly that I can't share the image folder w the autocad consultant.

I agree, this seems like a weird thing to not have implemented.

 

Based on some DWG files I receive from 3rd parties, it is perfectly possible to have images have any file name to work within a DWG.
