Using Raster Images in Drawings

Raster images consist of a rectangular grid of small squares or dots known as
pixels. For example, a photograph of a house is made up of a series of pixels
colorized to represent the appearance of a house. A raster image references
the pixels in a specific grid.
Raster images, like many other AutoCAD drawing objects, can be copied,
moved, or clipped. You can modify an image with grip modes, adjust an
image for contrast, clip the image with a rectangle or polygon, or use an
image as a cutting edge for a trim.
The image file formats supported by AutoCAD include the most common formats used in major technical imaging application areas: computer graphics,
document management, engineering, mapping, and geographic information
systems (GIS). Images can be bitonal, 8-bit gray, 8-bit color, or 24-bit color.
Several image file formats support images with transparent pixels. When
image transparency is set to on, AutoCAD recognizes those transparent pixels
and allows graphics in the drawing area to show through those pixels. (In
bitonal images, background pixels are treated as transparent.) Transparent
images can be gray-scale or color.
Although the file extension is listed in the following table, AutoCAD
determines the file format from the file contents, not from the file extension.

Attaching and Scaling Raster Images

Images can be referenced and placed in drawing files, but like external references (xrefs), they are not actually part of the drawing file. The image is
linked to the drawing file through a path name. Linked image paths can be
changed or removed at any time. By attaching images using linked image
paths, or by dragging images using AutoCAD DesignCenter, you can place
images in your drawing and only slightly increase the drawing file size. See
Using AutoCAD DesignCenter to Attach Raster Images on page 505. You
can also access image files from the Internet by specifying a URL. See Accessing Raster Images Using the Internet on page 743.
Attaching and Scaling Raster Images
729
Once youve attached an image, you can reattach it multiple times, treating
it as if it were a block. Each insertion has its own clip boundary and its own
settings for brightness, contrast, fade, and transparency. You can specify the
raster image scale factor when you attach the image so that the scale of the
geometry in the image matches the scale of the geometry in the AutoCAD
drawing. AutoCAD multiplies the image by the specified scale. The default
image scale factor is 1, and the default unit for all images is Unitless. The
image file can contain resolution information defining the dots per inch
(DPI), relating to how the image was scanned.
If an image has resolution information, AutoCAD combines this information
with the scale factor and the AutoCAD unit of measurement of the drawing to
scale the image in your drawing. For example, if your raster image is a scanned
blueprint on which the scale is 1 inch equals 50 feet, or 1:600, and your
AutoCAD drawing is set up so that 1 unit represents 1 inch, then in the Image
dialog box under Scale, select Specify On-Screen. To scale the image, you clear
Specify On-Screen, and then enter 600 in Scale. AutoCAD then attaches the
image at a scale that brings the geometry in the image into alignment with the
geometry in the drawing.
If no resolution information is defined with the attached image file, AutoCAD
calculates the images original width to be one unit. After attaching, the image
width in AutoCAD units is equal to the scale factor.
To attach and scale an image
1 From the Insert menu, choose Raster Image.
2 In the Select Image File dialog box, select a file name from the list or enter
the name of the image file in the File Name box. Then choose Open.
730
Chapter 20
3 In the Image dialog box, use one of the following methods to specify
insertion point, scale, or rotation:
Choose Specify On-Screen to use the pointing device to insert the image
at the location, scale, or angle you want.
Clear Specify On-Screen and enter values under Insertion Point, Scale, or
rotation.
To view the unit of measurement for the image, choose Details.
4 Choose OK.
Command line IMAGEATTACH

Related IMAGE displays the Image dialog box, from which you can manage
your attached images.
Tuning Image Performance

Manipulating large or many small raster images can make severe demands on
system performance. AutoCAD provides a variety of tools that help you work
with and manage your image information. For example, if performance slows
when you use the Clipboard, you can unload the raster image or turn off the
layer containing the image before using the Clipboard.
Changing the Temporary Swap File Location

AutoCAD uses a special temporary image swap file to reduce the amount of
RAM occupied by images. The Windows temp directory is the default location
of the temporary swap file. You can specify a different directory by adding an
entry under Temporary Drawing File Location on the Files tab in the Options
dialog box. See OPTIONS in the Command Reference.
731
Using Tiled Images

Tiled images are small portions (a series of tiles) of large images that load much
faster than nontiled images when using AutoCAD. If you edit or change any
properties of an image, AutoCAD regenerates only the modified portion, thus
improving the regeneration time. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the only
tiled format that AutoCAD supports. The TIFF reader supports all image types:
Bitonal (1 bit per pixel)

Gray scale and indexed color (8 bits per pixel)
True Color (24 or 32 bits per pixel)
You can save tiled TIFF images with most image scanning tools. The image
tiles should be no smaller than 64 64 pixels and no larger than 512 512
pixels. Additional file readers that support other tiled formats, such as CALS
Type II, are available from third-party developers.
Loading and Unloading Images

You can improve performance by unloading images when you do not need
them in the current drawing session. Unloaded images are not displayed or
plotted; only the image boundary is displayed. Unloading an image does not
alter its link. If memory is not sufficient to open multiple attached images in
a drawing, AutoCAD automatically unloads images.
In the Image Manager dialog box, you can use Reload to reload an unloaded
image or to update a loaded image by reloading the image from the specified
directory path. If a drawing is closed after an image is unloaded, AutoCAD does
not load the image file when the drawing is next opened; you must reload it.
To unload or reload images
1 From the Insert menu, choose Image Manager.
2 In the Image dialog box, select the image, and then choose Unload or Reload.
or
Select the image name, and then double-click on the status to immediately
change the images status either from Unload to Reload or from Loaded or
Reload to Unload.
The status of the selected image changes.
3 Choose OK.
All instances of the selected attached images are unloaded or reloaded.
Command line IMAGE
Shortcut menu Select an image to load or unload, right-click in the drawing
area, and choose Image Image Manager.

To display specific image instances

1 From the Modify menu, choose Properties.
2 Select the images you dont want to display.
3 In the Properties window, select Yes or No in the Show Image list.
Shortcut menu Select an image, right-click in the drawing area, and choose
Properties.
Detaching Images
You can detach images that are no longer needed in a drawing. When you
detach an image, all instances of the image are removed from the drawing,
the image definition is purged, and the link to the image is removed. The
image file itself is not affected.
To detach an image
2 In the Image dialog box, select the image name.
3 Choose Detach.
The image is no longer linked to the drawing file, and all instances of the
image are removed from the drawing.
Command line IMAGE
Image Image Manager.
NOTE Erasing an individual instance of an image is not the same as detaching

an image. An image must be detached to remove the link from your drawing to
the image file.
Highlighting Images
You can turn on or off the highlighting that identifies the selection of a raster
image or the image frame by selecting Highlight Raster Image Frame Only on
the Display tab in the Options dialog box. You can also set the IMAGEHLT
system variable directly. By default, IMAGEHLT is set to 0, to highlight only
the raster image frame. Turning off highlighting of the entire image improves
performance.
733
Changing Quality and Speed of Image Display

To increase the display speed of images, you can change image display quality from the default high quality to draft quality. Draft-quality images appear
more grainy (depending on the image file type), but they are displayed more
quickly than high-quality images.
You can improve the image quality when using True Color (24 or 32 bits per
pixel) for raster images by selecting or clearing certain options on the Display
tab in the Options dialog box. When AutoCAD displays images at optimum
quality, regeneration time increases significantly. To improve performance,
decrease the number of colors for the system display setting while working
in a drawing. See OPTIONS in the Command Reference.
To change the image display quality
1 From the Modify menu, choose Object Image Quality.
2 Enter d (Draft) or h (High).
Images are displayed at the specified quality.
You can increase redrawing speed by hiding images you do not need in the
current drawing session. Hidden images are not displayed or plotted; only
the drawing boundary is displayed. You can choose to hide an image regardless of the user coordinate system (UCS) in the current viewport. See To
show or hide an image on page 734.
Command line IMAGEQUALITY
To show or hide an image
1 From the Tools menu, choose Properties.
2 Select the image to modify.
3 In the Properties window, to show or hide the image, select Yes or No in the
Show Image list.
4 To switch the background of the selected image between transparent and
opaque, select Yes or No in the Transparency list.

Chapter 20
Clipping Images
You can increase redrawing speed by clipping the image so that only the parts
of the image that you want visible are displayed. You can define the part of
an image that you want to display and plot by clipping the image. The clipping boundary can be a rectangle or a two-dimensional (2D) polygon with
vertices within the boundaries of the image. Each instance of an image can
only have one clipped boundary. Multiple instances of the same image can
have different boundaries.
NOTE Before you can clip an image, the image boundary must be visible. See
Showing and Hiding Image Boundaries on page 744.

Managing Raster Images

You can view image information; attach and detach images; load, unload,
and reload images; and change paths to image files using the Image Manager.
To open the Image Manager
From the Insert menu, choose Image Manager.

The Image Manager is displayed.
Command line IMAGE
Viewing Image Information

In the Image Manager, you can view image information either as a list or as
a tree. To control how the information is displayed in the Image Manager,
choose the List View or Tree View button in the upper-left corner. The list
view displays the name of each image in the drawing, its loading status,
size, date last modified, and search path. The tree view lists the images in a
hierarchy that shows their nesting level within xrefs and blocks. The status,
size, and other information are not displayed in the tree view.
737
In either view, you can display information about an image; attach or detach the
image; unload or reload the image; and browse for and save a new search path.
Using the List View

The list view displays the images attached to the current drawing, but it does
not specify the number of instances (see Viewing Image Information in the
Text Window on page 740). It is the default view. You can sort images by
category by clicking the column heading. Change the width of a column by
dragging its border to the right or left.
The following information is displayed in the list view:
Name of image file

Status (loaded or unloaded or not found)
File size
File type
Date and time file was last saved
Name of the saved path
If AutoCAD cannot find an image, its status is listed as Not Found. A Not
Found image is displayed as an image boundary in the drawing even if the
IMAGEFRAME command is set to off (see Showing and Hiding Image Boundaries on page 744). If the image is unreferenced, no instances are attached
for the image. If the image is not loaded, its status is Unloaded. Images with
a status of Unloaded or Not Found are not displayed in the drawing.
To display a list of the images attached to the drawing
2 In the Image Manager, choose the List View button.
Command line IMAGE
738
Chapter 20
Using the Tree View

The top level of the tree view lists image files in alphabetical order. In most
cases an image file is linked directly to the drawing and listed at the top level.
However, if an xref or a block contains a linked image, AutoCAD displays
additional levels.
To display image names and their nesting levels within xrefs and blocks
2 In the Image Manager dialog box, choose the Tree View button.

Chapter 20
Changing Image File Paths

When you open a drawing with an attached image, the path of the selected
image is displayed at the bottom of the Image Manager under Image Found
At. The path displayed is the actual path where AutoCAD found the image
file.
If you open a drawing that contains an image that is not in the saved path
location, or in any of the defined search paths, the Image Manager displays
Not Found in the image list, and the Image Found At box is blank.
To locate the image, AutoCAD first searches the standard AutoCAD search
path for the images saved path (see Specifying Search Paths, File Names,
and File Locations on page 74). If AutoCAD cannot locate the image (for
example, if you have moved the file to a different directory than the one
that was saved with the image), AutoCAD removes relative or absolute
path information from the name (for example, \images\tree.tga or
c:\my project\images\tree.tga becomes tree.tga) and searches the paths you
have defined in the current Project Files Search Path in the Options dialog
box. If a project has been defined in the Project Files Search Path, and the
PROJECTNAME system variable has been specified (by default, it is Empty),
the project name is displayed at the top of the Image Manager. If the drawing is not located in the paths specified in the Project Files Search Path,
AutoCAD attempts the first search path again. If the saved path doesnt
specify a file extension, all image file extensions are searched.
741
You can remove the path from the file name or specify a relative path by directly editing the path in the Image Found At box and then choosing Save
Path. It may be different from the current Found At path.
For more information about using project files and alternate search paths, see
Creating and Modifying Project Names on page 476 and Changing Xref
Paths on page 475. Also see PROJECTNAME in the Command Reference.
Changing the path in the Image Manager does not affect the Project Files
Search Path settings.
To change the image path
2 In the Image Manager, select an image whose path you want to change. Then
choose Browse.
3 In the Select Image File dialog box, select a new path, and then choose Open.
4 In the Image Manager, choose Save Path to save the new path.
The new path is displayed in the Saved Path column.
5 Choose OK.
Command line IMAGE
Naming Images
Image names are not necessarily the same as image file names. When you
attach an image to a drawing, AutoCAD uses the file name without the file
extension as the image name. Image names are stored in a symbol table;
thus you can change the image name without affecting the name of the file.
AutoCAD accepts up to 255 characters for image file names. In addition to
letters and numbers, names can have spaces and any special characters not
used by Microsoft Windows or AutoCAD for other purposes. See Working with Named Objects on page 157.
If you attach and place images with the same name but from two different
directories, AutoCAD appends numbers to the image names.
742
Chapter 20
To change an image name

2 In the Image Manager, select the image name.
3 Select the image name again, and then modify the name.
4 Choose OK.
NOTE You can also change the image name by pressing F2 after the current
image name is selected and then editing the name.
Accessing Raster Images Using the Internet

Designers and manufactures store images of their designs or products on the
Internet. With AutoCAD 2000, you can easily access image files from the
Internet. URL image file names are stored in the drawing.
Accessing images from the Internet saves time and provides rapid distribution of designs. For example, an architect who needs to show a client what
custom cabinets will look like has the manufacturer create a rendered image
of the cabinets, post it to a Web site, and then attach the image to the drawing file as a URL; any design changes can be updated immediately. For more
information, see chapter 23, Accessing the Internet.
To attach and scale an image file from the Internet
2 In the Select Image File dialog box, choose the Search the Web button.
3 In the Browse the WebOpen dialog box, enter the URL for the location of
the image file in Look In.
4 Enter the image file name in the File Name box. Then choose Open.
You can also select an image by using the shortcut menu. By right-clicking
the image and choosing Properties, you highlight, copy, and paste the complete image URL Address into the File Name box.
5 In the Image dialog box, choose OK.
6 If prompted, specify an insertion point and scale factor.
Accessing Raster Images Using the Internet
743
Modifying Images and Image Boundaries

All images have an image boundary. You can select an image by clicking this
boundary. Clicking in the middle of an image will not select the image. You
cannot use the pointing device to select an image if its boundary is not displayed. However, with boundaries turned off, you can still select images by
layer, by object name, and so on.
When you attach an image to a drawing, the image boundary inherits the current property settings, including color, layer, linetype, and linetype scale. If
the image is a bitonal image, the image color and boundary color are the same.
As with other AutoCAD objects, you can modify images and their boundary
properties, including
Image layer, boundary color, and linetype

Display of image boundaries
Location
Scale, rotation, width, and height
Image transparency
Image brightness, contrast, and fade
You can also modify the quality and speed of the image display, which improves performance (see Changing Quality and Speed of Image Display on
page 734).
Showing and Hiding Image Boundaries

You can hide image boundaries. Hiding the image boundary prevents the
boundary from being plotted or displayed. Also, hiding the image boundary
prevents you from selecting the image with the pointing device, ensuring that
the image cannot accidentally be moved or modified. However, images can
still be selected if they are not on a locked layer, for example, if the image is
part of a named selection set made with the All option when selecting objects.
When image boundaries are hidden, clipped images are still displayed to their
specified boundary limits; only the boundary is affected. Showing and hiding
image boundaries affects all images attached to your drawing.

Modifying Bitonal Image Color and Transparency

Bitonal raster images are images consisting only of a foreground color and a
background color. When you attach a bitonal image, the foreground pixels
in the image inherit the current settings for color. In addition to the modifications you make to any attached image, you can modify bitonal images by
changing the foreground color and by turning on and off the transparency
of the background.
NOTE Bitonal images and their boundaries are always the same color.

Adjusting Image Brightness, Contrast, and Fade

You can adjust brightness, contrast, and fade for the display of an image as
well as for plotted output without affecting the original raster image file and
without affecting other instances of the image in the drawing. Adjust brightness to darken or lighten an image. Adjust contrast to make poor-quality
images easier to read. Adjust fade to make drawing geometry easier to see
over images and to create a watermark effect in your plotted output.
Bitonal images cannot be adjusted for brightness, contrast, or fade. Images
fade to the current screen background when displayed, and they fade to
white when plotted.
To adjust brightness, contrast, and fade of an image
1 From the Modify menu, choose Object Image Adjust.
3 In the Image Adjust dialog box, to adjust brightness, contrast, and fade, use
the appropriate slider or enter a value.
The default value for both brightness and contrast is 50. You can adjust to a
maximum brightness of 100 or to a minimum of 0. The default fade value is
0. You can adjust to a maximum fade of 100.
