I'm in the process of building a title block, I'm trying to avoid drawing the whole company logo out by hand. Is there a shorthand way to take this piece of clip art from the word doc and convert it to something that acad can interpret?
Use a picture editor (I like IRFANVIEW, but there are other great ones out there) and select the part of the image you want to use in your ACAD:
Screen capture the portion of the WORD document showing the logo using your PRTSCRN key on your keyboard. The image is now on the clipboard (from prtscrn). CTRL-V or EDIT-Insert it into the IRFAVIEW (or other) window. Draw a box around JUST the logo. Go to EDIT-CROP-Selection to isolate the logo. SAVEAS to a filename you think is appropriate.
Use ACAD's image insert commands to insert, scale, rotate and position as you would positioning any ACAD entity. For 99% of the cases you are done. Also, I'd place it on a layer I could lock easily, but that's just me.
Since you can have white backgrounds in your drawing tabs, this should work perfectly for you, since you're likely printing on white paper.
