To Create a New Image

  1. Click Raster menu New.

    The New Image dialog box is displayed.

    Note: If the Show New Image Dialog check box is cleared in the Raster Design Options dialog box, on the New Image tab, then you can access the command line interface. For more information, see New Image Tab (AutoCAD Raster Design Options Dialog Box).
  2. Do one of the following to choose the AutoCAD properties of your image:
    • Type the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the lower left corner of the image, and values for scale and rotation.
    • Click Pick to select two points on the AutoCAD screen that are used to define these properties.
  3. In the Color Type area, select the color type of your new image, either Bitonal, Grayscale, Indexed Color, or True Color.
  4. In the Image Properties area, review the values for width, height, and density and modify them if required.

    Specify width and height values using either image units (pixels) or surface units (meters, feet, and so on). You can use the Dots Per drop-down list to change surface units.

  5. Click OK to close the dialog box and create the new image.
