This topic explains how to select an image if you have more than one in a drawing.
If your drawing contains only one image, AutoCAD Raster Design toolset automatically selects it when you run a command that requires a selection set. Otherwise, you can use one of two methods to select a specific image.
- Click on the frame (if it is visible), or draw a crossing window around a frame edge. When you do this, grip(s) are displayed, and the image is marked with a hatch pattern to indicate that it has been selected. If you do not want to display the hatch pattern, click
Tools menu
OptionsDisplay. Then select
Highlight Raster Image Frame Only.
- Place your cursor over the image, then press Shift + left-click. This feature is useful when you cannot see the image frame. When you do this, the image grips are displayed but the image is not marked with a hatch pattern. To use this feature, you must enable it in the AutoCAD Raster Design Options Dialog Box. For more information, see Mouse Settings.
When you select an image by selecting the image frame, the image rises to the top of the display order, obscuring any vectors intersecting it. However, you can use the Shift left-click method to select an image without bringing it to the top and highlighting it. This allows you to select the image and keep the vectors on top so that you can manipulate the frame with the vectors still visible. However, when the frame operation is complete, the image rises to the top of the display order. Use the AutoCAD REGEN command to restore the proper display order.
