Using Other AutoCAD Commands on Your Images

Because image frames are treated as AutoCAD objects, you can modify your images using standard AutoCAD commands, such as MOVE, COPY, ROTATE, and SCALE.

Using AutoCAD grips, you can select image frames and vectors and then choose an editing command. You can edit both raster images and vector objects at the same time by including both in your selection set.

Note: You can use the AutoCAD UNDO command for up to ten AutoCAD Raster Design toolset image edits. This limit applies to edits that actually change raster data, not to display-only changes. Some of the operations affected by this limit are REM, Histogram, Remove, Crop, Palette Manager, and Rubbersheet.

Some frequently used AutoCAD commands:

Use this AutoCAD command to...	To...
REGEN	Restore the correct display order of images. When you edit an image, the image is placed on top of any other images or vectors in your drawing. Use the AutoCAD REGEN command to restore the images to their correct order.
LAYER	Control the display of images. You can insert each image on a different layer and then use the LAYER options to turn the image layers on or off, freeze them, change their colors, or lock them to prevent the images on them from being edited.
ZOOM and PAN	Zoom to images and pan across images.
UNDO	Undo the effects of a AutoCAD Raster Design toolset command.
DVIEW	Rotate the UCS to any degree to view the images at a different angle. Note: You cannot edit an image if you use the VPOINT command to change the drawing viewpoint to anything other than 0,0,1.
PLOT	Plot an image.
SCALE	Scale a REM object or insertion.
DYNMODE	Set the Dynamic Input variable to specify no display (0), pointer input (1), dimensional input (2), or both (3).
OSNAP	Snap to image frames and REM objects.
