    Default BIM 360 Image attach (aka jpg)

    I just found this problem on one of my projects.

    After attaching some jpg's from google earth using imageattach on my civil cover sheet and then creating pdf, which worked just great.
    However, this is what I found the next day when I open the cover sheet.

    I access the BIM 360 and the cover sheet again today and found that both images I had attached the day before were not showing up.
    I placed the images (jpg) in the same directory as the sheet.

    XREF shows the jpgs as being Unrefereced

    I tried a few ways to work around this problem and finally came up with using a PDF.

    Here's what I did to get this to work:
    --- I attach the jpg to a sheet.
    --- Then created a pdf of the sheet.
    --- Saved the pdf in the directory where the sheet was in.
    --- I then attached the pdf using pdfattach.

    After this, I was able to save and close the sheet and reopen the sheet and still have the pdf (images) show up.

    But my question is really this...

    Why is this happening when I use BIM 360 and is there a workaround to get jpg attach working again so that I don't need to do all these steps...???

    Thanks

    Default Re: BIM 360 Image attach (aka jpg)

    I'm I to understand that you can't use jpg while using BIM 360 and that what I found is the only way to attach and save an image is to make it a PDF?

    I was looking to find the right way to keep using jpg's while in BIM 360...
