Importing company Logos

[cbiddulph]

Does anyone know the best way to import a logo in ADT5 and get it to print out in good quality? I have tried tiff, jpeg, bitmap....but some, when i print, are just a black boxes. Does this have anything to do with OLE?
Thanks,

The 'best' way to have ones company logo
in any version of AutoCAD is to create it as drawing
objects. In this manner there are no issues with
OLE plot quality, or it's refusal to rotate when plotted
rotated. No problems with forgetting to include the image
for transmittal of the files.

Thank you for helping me. What exactly is drawing objects? and is it okay to import a jpeg, or tiff which one is better to use? sorry this is my first time importing something like this.

Insert what ever image you have by typing IMAGE
and then get your logo.
Then put your artists hat on, and trace over it, you
will not be able to SNAP to the image unless you
have some image editing software intalled, like
Raster Design. Once you have re-created the logo
in lines, arcs, polylines and text objects, hatch
it as required and now the logo will be a block that you
include right in with the other parts of your title block.

I usually do an auto trace of the scan in Illustrator, export to dwg format, then clean it up in AutoCAD.
