Ole's have a border?

[hhall]

When I insert a OLE object from Word I get a border around the text.
How do you take it off or hide it?

When I insert a OLE object from Word I get a border around the text.
How do you take it off or hide it?what is your OLEFRAME setting?

from help:


Controls whether a frame is displayed and plotted on all OLE objects in the drawing. The frame on an OLE object must be displayed in order for grips to be visible.

0

Frame is not displayed and not plotted

1

Frame is displayed and is plotted

2

Frame is displayed but is not plotted

I'm using AutoCAD 2004 the comand OLEFRAME does not exist in this version of AutoCAD. Any other suggestions on how to turn off border?

From R14 Help -

To turn off selection of an OLE object


1 Move the cursor over the object frame until the move cursor appears. (4-way cursor)

2 From the cursor menu, choose Selectable.

Selectable is a toggle that turns selection of the OLE object on and off.

Worth a try?

Tried all of the above still not working.........Help!!!!!!

How about Paste Special as acad entities or as text?

Try "tframes"
I think that's the one for text/images and such

[hhall]

I tried Tframes, not working. I think this might be a Microsoft Word setting. I don't know tried everything except the right one.

Funny. This (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?p=210332#post210332) works just fine here.

I have AutoCAD 2006 installed, along with AutoCAD 2004. I am currently using AutoCAD 2004. I wasn't having a problem with my Ole's (border/frame problem) until I loaded AutoCAD 2006. When I open the drawing in AutoCAD 2006 I can type in ole frame and not have that problem. The problem is I'm the only one with AutoCAD 2006 in my office so I can't solely work in AutoCAD 2006. When someone else in my office opens the same drawing file the OLE border is not there. What do I do?

[jaberwok]

Now I'm confused.
If you're using A2004, the information I posted from R14 works equally well in A2004. What did you do in A2004 before you installed A2006?
Is it you who has a problem or your coworkers?
I don't have 2004 and 2006 on the same machine so may not have exactly the same interactions. I have A2006 and R14 on one and 2004LT on another.

My work station is the one with the problem. As I said, I never had a problem with Ole's
showing a border, until I loaded AutoCAD2006. My coworkers have no problem with OLE borders, when they open up the drawing there is no borders. (But they don't have ACAD 2006 installed either. Tframes, wipeout, imageframe all do not solve the problem in AutoCAD 2004. I either have to plot the drawings with Ole's in AutoCAD 2006 or have someone else plot the sheet in AutoCAD 2004. Our office will be upgraded by the end of the year, its just a pain.

The OLE borders PLOT from A2004 when A2006 is also installed?
Even when I have them on-screen they don't plot. :confused:

A bug?

First set OLEFRAME to 0. That prevents the OLE object from printing and also although you can pick it, you cannot copy it, move it, etc. Then, click on the frame of the OLE object, go to Properties and change the Lock Aspect. If it is "yes" change it to "no" or the opposite. That should do it.
