The Plotting tab in the Options dialog box allows you to specify a print qual-
ity value for OLE objects. Line Art is the lowest quality setting and results in
the fastest plotting with the least memory consumed. High Quality Photo-
graph is the highest quality setting and uses more memory and time for
plotting the OLE object.

2 Copy the information you want to embed to the Clipboard.
3 Open the AutoCAD drawing.
4 From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
