Insert image in AutoCAD or Civil 3D without external reference, is it possible? Help, I have 1000 images

2

How do you meen insert? With link, in dwgfile as raster image or as object?
One question that come up in my mind is, why do it with Dynamo? Can’t you use standard function and still save time?

3

OLE format, each image has coordinates. What would be the standard option, which adds 1000 images with coordinates without a link. Thank you

Oki, I see. No, then I don’t know. Didn’t understood that you where asking about OLE images.
Wonder, why didn’t you pinged you previous post about the same topic which I found when I started to search for info?

I found this, but I don’t understand python

6

something like this

7

open the image in Paint or any other image editing software,
Press CTRL+A to select all, CTRL+C to copy, and paste in AutoCAD (CTRL+V)

That doesn’t work for me for multiple images :frowning:

It’s more like an Autolisp related issue than Dynamo…

Can someone help me, what is the error?
