Raster Menu

All AutoCAD Raster Design toolset menu options are located on the Raster menu. The following chart outlines the functions you can access through this menu, and provides cross-references to sections in this book for more information.

Menu Option	Function
New	Displays the New Image dialog box, where you can define the frame and properties for an image you want to create. See Creating a New Image.
Insert	Displays the Insert Image dialog box that is used to insert images into your current AutoCAD drawing. Also provides access to the correlation function for precise placement of an image. See Inserting Images.
Save, Save As	Saves an image to another file name, location, or file type, saves an image without saving the drawing. See Saving Images.
Export	Exports an image to a different file format, or exports correlation data associated with the image. See Exporting Images.
Image Embed	Saves a bitonal image within the drawing to simplify file management. See Saving Images.
Capture	Saves the current displayed version of image data, producing an image of convenient size. See Saving Images.
Correlate	Correlates your image by matching, moving, scaling, or rubbersheeting. See Correlating Images.
Manage	Displays the Image Manager, which shows information about insertions, images, and color maps. You can do many tasks here, such as insert new images, change the display order of insertions, erase an image, zoom to an image, assign a different color map, and review metadata. See Image Manager.
Cleanup	Fixes problems with documents that have been damaged or distorted by reproduction processes. You can deskew, despeckle, invert, mirror, touchup, or adjust the bias of an image. See Correcting Images.
Image Processing	Enhances the appearance of your image, removes defects, converts an image to a different type, adjusts colors, and assigns color palettes. See Correcting Images.
Raster Entity Manipulation	Edits bitonal, color, and grayscale raster data. Options are provided to select raster entities and then vectorize, edit, or remove them. See Manipulating Raster Entities.
Mask	Creates a mask, which is a selected area within the image. In this manual, see Masking Images.
Crop	Crops an image to remove unwanted areas. Options are provided for cropping a line or regions of various shapes. See Rubbing and Cropping Images.
Remove	Erases or rubs raster entities, such as lines, circles, arcs, or rectangles. See Rubbing and Cropping Images.
Merge	Merges images or vector data, and selects raster pen widths. See Merging Vectors into Raster.
Vectorization Tools	Converts raster arcs, circles, texts, lines, polylines, rectangles, or contours to vector format. See Vectorizing Raster Entities.
Text Recognition	Converts raster text to AutoCAD text. See Converting Raster Text.
Raster Snap	Sets the snapping mode, which controls whether your cursor moving within an image automatically jumps to raster entity endpoints, intersections, or other significant points. See Snapping to Raster Entities.
Toggle Frames	Changes the visibility of the image frame.
Toggle Quick Bar	Changes the visibility of the Quick Bar.
Raster Data Query	Displays the Raster Data Query dialog box, which interactively displays data about the pixel under the cursor.
Options	Displays the Raster Design Options dialog box where you can configure AutoCAD Raster Design toolset. See Configuring AutoCAD Raster Design Toolset.

Help	Displays the AutoCAD Raster Design toolset User Guide in Help.
