AutoCAD Commands for Images

You can use standard AutoCAD commands to manage image frames. When you select a frame, you create an AutoCAD selection set that you can manipulate using any AutoCAD editing command, such as COPY, MOVE, or ROTATE.

When an AutoCAD command prompts you to select an object to edit, you can use any of the standard AutoCAD selection methods to select one or more image frames. When you select an image frame, grip(s) are displayed on the image. Select one of the grips and right-click to display the AutoCAD shortcut menu, on which you can select a command. Or, you can use the grip editing commands to edit the image.

Note: To select a command on the AutoCAD Raster Design toolset shortcut menu, select an image (but do not select a grip) and then right-click.

AutoCAD also includes the following commands that you can use with AutoCAD Raster Design toolset to adjust the display of your images:

• IMAGE. Attach, detach, load, unload, and save paths of images.
• IMAGEADJUST. Display the Image Adjust dialog box to modify the image brightness, contrast, and fade display qualities.
• IMAGEATTACH. Display the Image Attach dialog box, which you can use to insert an image.
• IMAGECLIP. Clip an image boundary to any polygonal shape. For more information, see Clipping an Image.
• IMAGEQUALITY. Specify whether to display the image in draft or high quality.
• IMAGEFRAME. Turn image frames off and on.
• BACKGROUND TRANSPARENCY. Turn background transparency off and on for an image.
