Hi
Regarding the following thread within the Autodesk Discussion Groups -
http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?threadID=333860
The other day we experienced/noticed a very similar problem, some CAD PC's when working within AutoCAD allow the attachment of GIF's via the Image command, some don't....
The following Technical Documents/Article indicate that AutoCAD supports the functionality of attaching GIF images -
ID: TS20202 - Supported raster file formats (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2881135&linkID=2475323)
ID: TS69570 - Comparison of raster images in AutoCAD® Release 14 and later releases to AutoCAD Release 13 (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2865782&linkID=2475323)
ID: TS24375 - Favorites folder in DesignCenter (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2868127&linkID=2475323)
The World of Raster (http://www.cadalyst.com/cadalyst/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=94910)
The following Article indicates that AutoCAD does *not* support the functionality of attaching GIF images -
All about Images (http://www.cadtutor.net/acad/acad2k/map/map.html)
Confused? I am <:)
We found that a CAD PC with just vanilla AutoCAD installed does *not* allow GIF images to be attached.
We have since found that if we install LDT on the CAD PC that contained vanilla AutoCAD (ie 2 Autodesk products installed side-by-side) the functionality of attaching GIF images within AutoCAD becomes available (makes sense as AutoCAD is at the core of LDT). Therefore it seems LDT installs/switches_on something that enables the attaching of GIF images.
Am I correct with the above or should vanilla AutoCAD have the functionality of attaching GIF images (as stated on the Autodesk web site).
Thanks, Mike
