As long as they bind it before transmitting, all is well. Luckily they don't have to understand it, it's set up for them and it's just 'there'. This has worked an absolute treat, and is in use by a whole bunch of AutoCAD veterans who quite often don't even understand the concept of Xrefs.

All that was required to update this was to update the 5 source drawings (1 for each size), and any of the 20.000 drawings opened by a user from that day on had the updated logo and details.

Over those years the company logo as well as address/contact details has changed several times. I work in a drawing office that for the past 10 years has inserted all drawing borders (including title block) as an xref in paperspace.

Throw a comment too! I'm a curious soul, and I always like to see who is doing what! I'd love to see how you're making it work! It's a doozy!ДЄnd out of my curiosity, and that of everyone out in the 'Verse, is anyone out there prefer to link the image instead of embed it? Throw out a comment below. There are the steps to insert an image, with that vital stumbling block of the link checkbox. The title block carries the image with it in the document from this point forward. Now it doesn't matter what happens to the original image. This is why I've always preferred to embed the image.Д«y unchecking the 'Link' box, the image will now embed in the document, instead of linking. That means the image must always be accessible by the file, and cannot be moved, deleted, etc. If left checked, the image will link from it's current location. Notice the 'Link' checkbox? It's checked by default! This is the point where it pays to stop and look at the dialog box. A dialog box will appear asking you to select the image to insert. The next step is to draw a rectangle where the image will reside. Click on the 'Image' icon to insert an image. So in this post, I'll go over the steps to insert a logo into the title block, and the step that makes sure the logo is embedded instead of linked.ДЇirst, edit the definition of the title block by right clicking on it in the browser, and choosing 'Edit Definition'.Д®diting the definition of the title block. I find it works a lot easier for me in the long run. Needless to say, I always embed my logos. Just imagine using Vault with Unique File Names Enforced, and being unable to check in a file because there's already a file named 'logo.bmp'!

In my experience, it seems like the image gets lost, or there are multiple copies of the linked image floating around, inevitably causing what could be a minor data management nuisance to a full fledged headache! Personally, I hate linking the image to the title block. The danger is that by default, the image is actually linked into the file.

As a matter fact (insert squinty eyes), it's too easy. The process is straight forward, and dare I say easy. One thing I've had to do several times is import a logo into a the title block on a drawing. Now that the we've all survived the Mayan Apocalypse and are cruising through the first few days of 2013, here's a simple post to kick off the new year. вЂњBreak one link and the whole chain falls apartвЂќ
