Controlling Image Frames

An image frame encloses each image you insert.

If you select an image frame, grip(s) appear and hatch marks are drawn over the image to indicate that it is selected. You can select the frame using standard AutoCAD methods. For more informational, see Selecting an Image.

After you select an image frame, you have several choices:
  • Use an editing command from the Raster Tools tab on the ribbon.
  • Right-click to display the AutoCAD Raster Design toolset shortcut menu.
  • Select a grip and then right-click to display the AutoCAD shortcut menu.
  • Manipulate the image using the AutoCAD commands. For more information, see AutoCAD Commands for Images.

You can turn off the frames in your drawing or you can choose to place them behind the images.

You can change the color of an image frame using AutoCAD Properties. If the image is a bitonal image, the frame color and the bitonal objects are always drawn in the same color. For more information, see AutoCAD Properties.

An image frame is usually rectangular. However, a frame may be irregularly shaped if the image is clipped.
