Imaging Commands

AutoCAD has basic imaging commands you can use to insert images, clip images, and adjust image appearance.

Use this AutoCAD command...	To...
IMAGE	Attach, detach, load, reload, and unload images.
IMAGEADJUST	Adjust the brightness and contrast of an image, and fade the image (display-only adjustments).
IMAGEATTACH	Attach (or insert) images.
IMAGECLIP	Clip an image so that only a selected polygonal area of the image is displayed.
IMAGEQUALITY	Change between high and draft display modes.
IMAGEFRAME	Turn frames on and off.
TRANSPARENCY	Turn transparency on and off.

Note: AutoCAD commands are shown in UPPERCASE. AutoCAD Raster Design toolset commands have an initial capital letter, for example, Histogram. When you enter an AutoCAD Raster Design toolset command on the command line, the letter i precedes the command name.

The next sections describe the differences between AutoCAD imaging commands and AutoCAD Raster Design toolset commands.
