PDFATTACH (Command) Find: Select a PDF file

List of Options

The following options are displayed.

Name

Identifies the PDF file you have selected to attach.

Browse

Opens the Select Reference File dialog (a standard file selection dialog box).

Select one of more pages from the PDF file

Displays all of the pages that are found in the PDF file. If the PDF file only contains a single page, that page is listed. You can select multiple pages by holding Shift or Ctrl and selecting the pages to attach.

Path Type

Select the full (absolute) path, the relative path to the PDF file, or No Path, and the name of the PDF file. For the No Path option, the PDF file must be located in the same folder as the current drawing file.

The default path type is Relative path. Use REFPATHTYPE system variable to change the default path type.

Insertion Point

Specifies the insertion point for the selected PDF file.

Specify On-Screen: Directs input at the Command prompt or the pointing device.
X: Sets the X coordinate value.
Y: Sets the Y coordinate value.
Z: Sets the Z coordinate value.

Scale

Specifies the scale factor of the selected PDF underlay.

If INSUNITS is set to "unitless" or if the underlay does not contain resolution information, the scale factor becomes the underlay width in AutoCAD units. If INSUNITS has a value such as millimeters, centimeters, inches, or feet, and the underlay has resolution information, the scale factor is applied after the true width of the underlay in AutoCAD units is determined.

Specify On-screen: Inputs information at the Command prompt or with the pointing device. If Specify On-Screen is cleared, enter a value for the scale factor.
Scale Factor Field: Enter a value for the scale factor.

Rotation

Specifies the rotation angle of the selected PDF underlay.

Specify on-screen: If Specify On-Screen is selected, you may wait until you exit the dialog box to rotate the object with your pointing device or enter a rotation angle value at the Command prompt.
Angle: If Specify On-Screen is cleared, enter the rotation angle value in the dialog box. The default rotation angle is 0.
