Setting Image Properties

You can control many aspects of image appearance by setting properties. These include AutoCAD properties and AutoCAD Raster Design toolset properties.

AutoCAD Properties

View the AutoCAD properties of an image either by right-clicking the image or right-clicking the image object in the Image Insertions view of Image Manager. The main AutoCAD property types are as follows:

• General. Color, layer, and line settings. The color setting controls the foreground color of a bitonal image or the frame color of a color or grayscale image.
• Image Adjust. Settings for brightness, contrast, and fade values.
• Geometry. Correlation settings, including scale, rotation, and X, Y, Z values for the origin.

For more information, see AutoCAD Help.

AutoCAD Raster Design Toolset Properties

View the AutoCAD Raster Design toolset properties of an image in the item view of Image Manager. The properties shown vary somewhat, depending on image type, what is selected (image data or insertion), and the location (Image Insertions view or the Image Data view) in Image Manager. The main AutoCAD Raster Design toolset property types are as follows:

• Information. Image name, type, specifications, and whether the image can be edited and saved.
• Display Settings. Image layer, background transparency settings, and whether the image is visible.
• Correlation. Scale, rotation, and X, Y, Z values for the origin.
• Paths. Include the active path, from where the image was inserted, and the saved path where it is currently being saved.
