Hi, I have a question. There was an image (company logo) in the attached drawing. I made it yesterday evening on my MacBookPro. Now I am working on another computer (iMac) but the image is gone! I have the drawing on OneDrive so the drawings is the same (synced). I have checked it on the MacBookPro and the logo is the stil visible. But not on my iMac. I use QCAD 3.25.1.0 on both macs. Can you tell me what is wrong? Doest the drawing keep some of the settings 'local'?
I insert the image using command Draw--> Insert Bitmap (IM). This is the first time I notice this. In another drawings this never happend. Thank you for you help.

Re: Image not visible when drawing opened on another computer
Images are not embedded in DXF/DWG, but referenced. Best practice is to keep the drawing file and all referenced image files in the same folder, for example a project folder. This way, QCAD can always find the images.
Re: Image not visible when drawing opened on another computer
But I have already the image in the same folder! That's strange.
Re: Image not visible when drawing opened on another computer
Perhaps the file was once opened and saved without the image present. This might have corrupted the image reference. I'd try to re-insert it.
Re: Image not visible when drawing opened on another computer
I was playing with the file on both computers. Now it's syncing. I think it's a matter of putting the drawing and te images into exactly same folder as you said. I have mostly 1 folder for the drawings and other one for the photos, logos and other stuff. Problem solved. Thank you for your quick reply.
