No, what happens when you try to insert one? Maybe try opening the image in an image editor and resaving it? Or try a different image editor and save again.

Check the B in sWOTHLUDBFK is on/capitalised so the bitmap is displayed. Also check the insertion layer isn't locked.

hi guys , bitmap insert update when i save an image from o2c as jpeg it will insert back into the drawing, eg for a perspective of view of model - however if i save the same image as bmp it will not insert back into the drawing. (nothing happens)
i dont usually change the default setting when saving an image but some how it automatically saved as bmp, is this normal.

also any ideas on the raytrace not working in o2c , or do most people use the sun shader for producing images.

thanks

A bmp is uncompressed, while a jpg is compressed, so it is possible the BMP is bigger than it can handle? You could try using it as a PNG; which is compressed but a better quality than a jpg.
