View 2 RepliesCan I attach a raster image so it is part of a drawing and travels with it. If so, how do I do it? I realize it would increase file size. I often add reference .jps to my drawings for the shop. I'd like to be sure that when the file is moved to a different folder or archived it includes the image.

When attach image (tif) with no path. is saved, de image will be saved without a path. dir. Only when we change the image (with RasterCAD) when we now save the drawing the hole path dir. will be saved.
When we used AutoCAD 2006 this will not be the case. The tiff. will stay no path. We move/copy drawing with image to other dir. very often.
-Originel
... dwg/tif
-To-Built
... dwg/tif
-As-Built
.... dwg/tif
Problem is that the image will be saved in the wrong dir.

How can I make a raster image transparent? I would like to see image #2 below image #1 by making image #1 semi-transparent. I can make one specific color in the image transparent..I am working from a scanned image in jpeg format. I would think it should be easy because any Microsoft Office program can do it. I have searched through multiple Autodesk discussion boards to no avail.

I have used OLE Object in the past and i problem i have is that, I can't rotate OLE object/image i can scale and move. i can't clip OLE obj. For Attach JPEG or PDF when someone accidently delete the JPEG which were attached out of the computer then when i open the file it will show "Not found" on the external Ref. this won't happen in OLE obj. i tried not to use either of these methods above because it increases the size of the dwg but this is how the Co Worker wants for this project. The drawing size is less than 1000KB not too bad.

Ihave tried different methods, copied and pasted photos, (made sure they are small file size). I have tried to attach image in x-ref manager, is there a way to bind the photos into the drawing?
I have sent drawing out but lost images, also i sent drawing out zipped up with folder with photos. Using relative path, i still cant get it to work. What is correct method to insert images into a drawing so they are bound in? is there a way.
I have a problem with a drawing, containing aerial images.
If I try to plot it as PDF, using "Adobe PDF" or "PDF-Creator" as printer, I see green areas in my PDF. Here the result:
If I use the AutoCAD Printer "DWG to PDF.pc3", there is no problem. Here the result:
For the creating of PDF files I can use the AutoCAD printer, that is no problem, but I have the same Problem if i try to plot a drawing with aerial images on a Plotter (HP 1050C) or any other printer in our office.
I'm having an issue where the more I zoom into a drawing that has a raster image (a 1mb jpg) in it, regenerating times become increasingly long until the whole program just freezes. When I zoom back out, it's fine.
I've tried changing the file type, saving it with a different program, lowering the quality to Draft, zooming in on an area that the raster image wasn't in, lowering the DPI of the image, nothing works. I've spent the last two hours searching Google for a fix, found nothing. The only thing that seems to work is if I put the image on a layer and freeze it. The problem there is, I'm tracing over the image, so it being invisible makes it rather difficult to work with.
I'm still learning some of the basics in the AutoCAD Map features. Most of my work has been using a map that is connected to data. My raster image is connected to a Sid file which covers more area than I usually need to work with.
What is the best way to work with a small area at a time? I cannot seem to imageclip the connected raster image.
I have a small raster image (png) xrefed to an Autocad 2012 dwg. The image is on its own layer and the transparency of the layer is set to 60%.
When I select TPY the image displays correctly on the screen (i.e. semi-transparent). When I tick Plot transparency in the Plot dialog box and send the plot to our HP Designjet 800 the raster image prints exactly as I want (semi-transparent).
However when I use the Autodesk pdf writer (Dwg to pdf) the resulting pdf does not have the semi transparent appearance and the raster image appears in all its brilliant color even though it displays correctly (i.e. semi-transparent) in Print Preview. And, yes, I have ticked the Plot transparency box before seeing it to the pdf writer. Other autocad entities such as plines which are semi transparent are fine, its only the raster image that seems to lose its semi-transparent quality.
Is there anyway to bind a raster image to a drawing?
Everytime I bind/insert my title block the images dont bind in and also the file paths get deleted. Asked most of the drafters I know and everyone says it cant be done, which is what i think.
Normally I would use a CAD version of the Logos (for the client/architect,etc.) but sometime there isnt one available so have to use raster images.
Running AutoCAD 2004, XP Pro...I have inserted our company logo into the title block as a Raster image. The logo is png, and I have tried retaining the path and not retaining the path with the same result. After saving this as a template, I reopen as new sheet to start a drawing and the logo is now the path name.

In doing some more research on my "reference question" below, I found that the scanner we have at work creates a tiff image and apparently there are different types of tiffs. Our scanner creates a tiff with a "bitonal" color setting. How to convert a tiff with a "RGB" color setting to a tiff with a "bitonal" color setting. I have done some searches but have come up with very little information about the subject. I would prefer to be able to do this with autocad software if it can be done.

Is there a way to change a pdf underlay path when drawing files are moved?
Is there a way to set the pdf path to match the drawing location so when a drawing?
and pdf is moved and they have the same path the pdf will be linked to the drawing?
The same can be asked about raster image files & AutoCAD?

I have a a graphic image from a client to use as signage on my 3d model. In photoshop I have isolated the letters and the logo only by erasing the background. No color is in the background, not white nor black, it is transparent in Photoshop.
I saved the image as a .jpg, .tif .tga. and .bmp. Any of these raster images, when inserted into the drawing, shows the background as white. I cannot undertsand how to make it transparent so it looks like letters painted on the wall.
I have changed IMAGEFRAME set to 0 - no change, I have set properties TRANSPARENCY to YES but no change.
Am I missing a step, or does the program always show raster images in a box?

I am using a tiff file as a Raster Image Reference while drawing over it in AutoCad LT for mac. The raster file is 8200 x 5700. If I examine the autocad drawing by zooming in closely the alignment is perfect. However, when I create an A0 pdf file of the drawing there is an alignment error between the raster image and the vector drawing on the x axis. The y axis alignment is perfect.
I believe it is a scaling error since there is no visible alignment error on the left hand side of the drawing and the error increases across the drawing to the right hand side. The error is small, about 0.2% but it is clearly visible in the pdf file.
To illustrate the problem I have put a test mark on the top right hand corner of the drawing outline and the attached file shows this portion of the drawing in autocad on the left and in the pdf file on the right.
I have tried different drivers and plot settings but the error is always there.
I am using MAP3D 2013 and trying to create a raster image file for use in anther document (the document will not accept a dwg or dwf file, only a raster image).
When I use the JPGOUT (or PNGOUT or BMPOUT or TIFOUT) command I can select all of the objects and viewport; there is no problem creating the file. But when I open up the raster image, only the viewport outline and objects in paperspace have come accross; the viewport appears empty.
In MAP, the viewport is turned on and I can see everything as intended.
I've rebooted, re-installed and nothing changes the fact that when i try and insert a raster image the program locks right up.
I can go back 2009 version and have no problems inserting the same raster. The raster is a Mr.Sid format file
I am trying to increase the memory limit to my raster options and it wont let me change the size. I have plenty of available memory(mb) to use, but after i restart civil 3d and go back to the same options menu, its back to what it was..
View 3 Replies View RelatedEach time I go to insert a raster image it opens to a directory which has no files stored in it.
I do have a handful of directories that have my image files stored, and I have gone into Options>Files>storage paths>.... and set them per specs.
Is there a way to change the default directory that the dialogue box opens, when I select- Insert>Raster Image ?
I've also gone through all the options under the Option>File tab, and likewise don't see where it'd be set. I even clicked all the plus signs, down to their respective directories, and none of them match.
