Raster Images with AutoCAD LT

[hectorir]

Hi, there!

I need a menu to work with raster images in AutoCAD LT 2005, for example insert raster images, clipping options and modify image properties. When I type ... _image, the image manage doesn't allows me to browse or insert images into the drawing.

How to add these features in a menu that can be LTXpress or whatever name would be called?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Have a browse of the following thread (especially take note of any links within) -

import, insert, embed, or ???? (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=10187)

If you enter

_imageattach

do you not get a standard file selectiond dialog?

If no check your filedia and cmddia settings to be 1(on)

Tried it - got "unkown command". Still baffled.

Check out this TD
Insert raster image in drawing using AutoCAD LT (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2865127&linkID=2475874)

As far as I can tell, LT is very limited in its ability to handle images. Probably the only way to get some of these functions is with a 3rd party app.

Hi

As far as I'm aware AutoCAD LT does not have the following commands for working with Images -

ImageAttach, ImageClip, ImageQuality, ImageAdjust, Transparency

If you follow the link given in my above post you will find some very useful information on working with Image files within AutoCAD LT.

Have a good one, Mike

Slingshot (http://drcauto.com/ltfactory/products/slingshotmax/index.html) adds the ability to LT to insert images. Its free. It also enables a few other things as well.
