| Word+AutoCAD = productivity? |
Do you have a copy of AutoCAD LT (2006 or other) and need to insert an image/photo into your layout or data view? Do you not want to purchase a full version of AutoCAD? Well you’re in luck as there is an easy way to do it!.
First you need the following :
- AutoCAD LT (I have 2006 but this may work with other versions)
- Microsoft Word (I have version 2007 but other versions or alternative office programs may well work)
- A photo or image (jpg or otherwise) that you want to insert.
- Some knowledge of Microsoft Windows…
Follow these steps to get images in your AutoCAD drawing:
- Open Word and preferably create a new blank document.
- Insert or copy+paste (crtl+c then crtl+v) an image into the Word document.
- Select the newly pasted image in word and …
- Either
- right click –> Copy or
- Ctrl+C or
- Home Tab Click ‘Copy’
- Open or switch to AutoCAD LT and the data/layout view you want the image in and….
- Either
- right-click –> Paste or
- Crtl+V or
- Edit Menu –> Paste
Simple, yes?
As usual if this doesn’t work for you or there is a better work flow just add a comment to the bottom of this post!
