Displaying Tif files in LT

[pbelectech]

Hey Everyone

Maybe someone can help with a problem i'm having. In my office we are currently running Autocad 2005 LT. The problem is i need to work with a drawing that has a Tif file in it. This file wont display on the drawing. i just get a string of text showing the path to the file. I am assuming i cannot view this file because LT doesnt support Tif. I have tried manually inserting a Tif as an OLE object with no luck as well. Just a Tif symbol. Is there someway i can display this file in AutoCAD? i have tried converting it to a Bitmap but it still wouldnt import probably because of the size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Tyler,

which language-version are You running? Only English language versions of AC-LT sold in the U.S and Canada can insert all tif-images.

So, try to change the tif-version.

Did You try *.jpg-file? Size?

I'm running the Canadian English version. I still cant get it to work. I was able to insert it as a bitmap but the quality was crap because i had to resize it.

As far as I know tifs will work with LT. Did you verify the file path? Sounds like the path is incorrect or the tif file got moved.
