Jtb Raster2ole [ Simple ● ]
: Supports AutoCAD version 2013 through the latest AutoCAD 2026 release.
AutoCAD does not natively provide a "Bind" option for raster images, unlike its functionality for DWG external references. This often leads to broken links or missing files when sharing drawings that include logotypes, title blocks, or other graphics. Standard tools like ETRANSMIT often include images as separate files rather than embedding them, complicating project delivery. 2. Solution Overview: JTB Raster2OLE jtb raster2ole
While AutoCAD natively allows you to "attach" images, they remain as external references (Xrefs). If the external image file is moved or renamed, the drawing displays a broken link. JTB Raster2OLE solves this by converting these external images into OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) objects, effectively "binding" them to the drawing so they travel with the CAD file wherever it goes. Key Features and Capabilities : Supports AutoCAD version 2013 through the latest
This paper outlines the technical and operational overview of , a specialized add-in for Autodesk AutoCAD and its verticals, designed to solve the common issue of managing external raster image references. 1. Problem Statement Standard tools like ETRANSMIT often include images as
For firms upgrading from very old versions of AutoCAD (where Raster Image support was limited or utilized different drivers), this tool provides a clean pathway to modernize the data storage method within the drawing.
