Managing Images and Insertions

Each instance of an image that you insert into a drawing is called an insertion. Each insertion is based on an image data definition. Changing the attributes of an insertion does not affect the image data definition.

The AutoCAD Raster Design toolset Image Manager provides two views of the image data in a drawing:

• The Image Insertions view focuses mainly on the screen display; the object tree shows only image insertions and color maps.
• The Image Data view is more detailed, showing the data elements associated with an image.

Each view provides different shortcut menus for object types, and an item view that shows properties of the insertions and data in tabular form. In the Image Insertions view, a button at the top of the toolspace toggles between the item view and the image preview.
