Image Insertion into AutoCad Drawing

[Lucanus]

When I bring in a .bmp into a drawing with the "Image" command and plot it......the image scales out of its border. The larger I scale it, the larger it gets. What is the variable that keeps the image inside its border?
Thank you all very much!

I am not quite sure what you want but this may be it. Click on the image until the handles (little squares in the corners) appear. Right click and select Object Properties. The value that you want is Scale. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice. It did not work. The "Image" Command allows one to insert a bitmap or other picture. It is not clickable. I inserted an image with the "Image" Command. I could not select it by clicking on it. Only the border hi-lighted. Any other ideas?

Right clicking on the image will bring up some options for you. You will be able to select "properties" and adjust the scale of the image. Imageframe, "off" at the command line will supress the frame around the image so that this border will not plot.

It still does not work!

When I right click on the image, the Image Dialog box pops up. It will enable me to do nothing, except load, unload, etc. It tells me the properties of the image and that is all.

When I scale it with the Scale command, the image enlarges perfectly, along with the picture frame. When I plot it, however, the image blows up, out of the frame. The original sized enlarged frame sits where I left it, but the actual image enlarges dramatically. I can e-mail an example if somebody could use it to figure this out.

Thanks for the help.

You can send an example to kentparshall@yahoo.com. I'll take a quick look sometime today.
