In theory an embedded Excel, Word, or standard graphics file e.g. A typical example of where it will not work on a Mac is when a Visio or Project document is embedded inside a Word document as even though obviously a Mac can read Microsoft Word files it cannot read Microsoft Visio or Project files. OLE stands for Object Linking and Embedding and was a way of embedding one document inside another and I believe was originally devised by Microsoft. Word 2010 for Windows supports this format but in their infinite stupidity do not support this in Word for Mac even Word in Office 2016 for Mac does not support this format. We set the defaults to what normally works to create the smallest size files without loosing data. Unfortunately sometimes you will have to increase.Why are Images or OLE Object not Printing from AutoCAD? This is typically caused by the Raster Image and OLE Settings on the AcroPlot AutoCAD Options Tab. Why are Images or OLE Object not Printing from AutoCAD?

Re: Embed an Image File in AutoCAD: by: Koki on: J12:26am Hi, Ive been using this technique for years, OLE embedding has been around long ago, and the handling improved over the years.Yes the Frame visualisation can be managed by the layer the OLE is it on. Dialogue is “Paint, Could not update client., OK”. However, while double click allows you to OPEN the embedded image in Paint, subsequently saving (or Update Embedded object) does not work due to seeming limitations (not wuite to the bottom of this yet).

Embedding an IMage as an OLE object is great for static efforts.

When you embed objects, any changes made to the source document are not reflected in destination documents because there is no link to the source document. An embedded OLE object is simply a copy of information from another document-for example, a copy of an Excel spreadsheet in AutoCAD Architecture.

Right click-OLE-Convert that dosent change anything: please help. It tells me 'Failed to launch Server application' tried by right clicking the object. Normally when i double click the Excel sheet or the OLE object it directly opens in to an excel file, here its not happening.
