Embedding images in Rhino 7

[Jessie_Glover_Gillil]

Hello,

I’m looking for a command that allows me to import an image and to embed it permanently.

I have been just pulling images into layouts to create manufacture drawings and now when I send them to my colleague the images are blank. Presumably because I need to send the pasted images with the Rhino file…which is tedious!

I’m working in Rhino 7. I have seen previous discussions that date back to 2017, so the recommended commands don’t exist. It seems like a very obvious and simple request - any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jessie

In V7, when you save a file, make sure the Save textures option is checked and all images used in the file will be embedded.

Brilliant, worked a charm, thanks John.
I’d buy you a beer if I could!

Thanks,

Jessie

V5 did not do this.
If you open a V5 file, make sure you check that box when saving it so the images will be embedded.
