image display in dwg to be sent

[Mosterino]

exists a way to insert an image in a dwg and "leave it tied" to the file without having to attach it to the file separately?
I tried to upload it through external references but when I send the file to a colleague, this reads the path where the image is saved and there is not the same... but I'm sure there is also the way to view it in another pc without attaching it physically. . .
Is it ever possible that in autocad there is no elementary and functional procedure to attach an image permanently to the dwg without making it weigh too much and without having to attach it or include in particular paths?
with charge object ole owes me everything very heavy, I do not like to use e-trasmit because I do not want to send to the customer useless files but only what he asked me, in a simple and lean way.. .

Thanks to who will help me. . .

the streets are 2, or attach it as an ole, or attach it to the transmission.
You know them both, but you don't like one thing, the other doesn't like the other. .
There is a third way, recalculate the image with the autocad entities (lines, circles etc.) so as to get rid of the image.

Okay, thank you, but the third hypothesis the discard a priori being the image a photo...
I hoped there was an effective and not too invasive way. . .

you have to use the relative reference (by placing the image in the same folder as the dwg file), not the absolute one.

thanks for the contribution but for the image in question does not make me do it, I have already tried... while for xrif si... mah!

from the outside of autocad, use the reference manager, and set the path of the image contained in the design replacing the existing one with a simple point. save (apply changes).
Place the image in the file folder and it has to work, without if and without but.

Meanwhile thank you for your contribution, but forgive my ignorance this "reference manager" where I find it? is already present on the cad (I have lt2009) or is it a tool to download and install separately?

the "referencing management" is an appropriate tool, which installs by default with autocad. find it in the menu of windows programs under the autodesk directory. I do not remember though if it is included also in the version lt.

no, in fact on thelt I do not find it installed. . .
