Embed Raster Image

In nanoCAD there is a mechanism for embedding of raster images. Inserted images saved in external raster files can be embedded and saved in drawing file.

To embed the raster:

1.      Open dialog External References (menu InsertExternal References).

2.      Select reference to a raster image.

3.      Click the CAD drafting Embed Raster Image 0 Embed image button.

CAD software Embed Raster Image 1

Embedded image has no saved path, and type of reference becomes Embedded.

 

CAD drawing Embed Raster Image 2

Attention

Embedded raster images increase the file size greatly.

 

CAD drafting Embed Raster Image 3

Attention

In programs that do not support the mechanism for embedding bitmap images, there may be problems with their display.

Using  Save as context menu command the embedded image can be made inserted into the drawing again as a reference by assigning a storage path in a separate raster file.
