Hey Brian haven't you heard the old saying whereby you cannot teach an old dog new trick. I am almost computer illiterate, my son has tried to teach me Autocad but I still prefer the old drawing board. I am what is often referred to in computer language a dinosaur.

Mark - I have also purchased a very good textbook called "introduction to Autocad by J. T. Roberts published by Payne-Gallway ISBN 1-904467-00-8" The book I have is aimed at Autocad 2002 but it is virtually the same for 2006 version so I have been told. There is also a web site "www.payne-gallway.co.uk" Hope this might be of help to you - I am gradually, as time permits working through the book. I am at fault not the book as I am not devoting sufficient time to it - spend more time on this blasted forum than Autocad. Good luck with your studies. If you are like me you will need it.
just remember dont hotlink onto someone elses server to display pictures, make sure they are on your server or hosting account people get very narked about bandwidth theft from hotlinking.
The mods would need to clarify if they allow pictures or not as it is a bandwidth eater which may put the forum over its montly allowance

Good point Brian. I am sat next to that server and I did ask myself permission first.
It took some argument but I won!

whoops,
The images do not take bandwidth from the server as the image is positioned in the users browser. No image is stored on the forum, just the link to it in text form. The browser, being a little dumb does not know the difference and pulls the image from its orignal location.

Seems like you need a server to do it Lolly, we will have to borrow Lord B's, he wont mind as long as it isn't at meal times.
If I keep quiet long enough no one will know of my ignorance in not being capable of doing this. The old addage of keeping quiet and learning from someone else's ignorance.
Hi Lolly
First of all you need to have your images hosted on a server somewhere in cyberspace. If you have this facility it is easy to post pictures its just a bit of web code with a hyperlink to the image.
Lost?
Hope it makes sense if you do not know anything about hyperlinks or servers just forget about it and have a glass of wine instead, it will prove to be a lot less stressfull

Now I am even more confused, but hey, I'm a woman, too stupid to understand what you just said, just have to stay frustrated with it all.

don't mean to sound sour, but Brian Bear's comment made me feel because I am a woman all I should do is drink wine and not ask complex questions
