How AutoCAD bind jpeg images in the drawing

Hi,

As far as I know, you cannot bind images. However, you can embed an image into AutoCAD as an OLE object. 

These are the steps for this:-

1. Run INSERTOBJ command in AutoCAD.

2. Choose Create New option and select Paintbrush Picture.

3. Windows paint will open, now go to Edit menu > Paste From.

4. Select your JPG image file and close Paint.

5. Save your AutoCAD drawing.

OR

You can simply do Copy /Paste. You can also do E-Transmit and your JPG will be bundled in the zip file.

Regards,
