trouble Inserting OLE objects into drawings

Jul 03, 2003 5 Replies

Can anyone help? When I try to insert an OLE object from file into my drawing, I only get the icon with title, regardless of whether I tick the box or not. However I can make a neww object & it inserts fine.


What type of file are you trying to insert as an OLE object?

If you place the image in a Word document and use Insert Object to place that in your drawing, it will show up.

Do you HAVE to use OLE? You could use Acad's Inset\Image command. BTW, what is 2003 SP3.1?
