AutoCAD 2007 - If an image is rotated it plots a green area around the image

[Scott Hillman]

I am having problems with a file that has a scanned image attached to it. If the image is rotated it plots a green area around the image. I have attached a couple of images of my print results. I did not have this problem in 2006. Any ideas?

Hi

When you say "scanned image attached" do you mean...

* OLE Object.
* Image attached via ._EexternalReferences or ._ImageAttach commands.

Does the problem appear when using all output devices or just the odd one or two ?

How are you Plotting from within AutoCAD - Windows System Printers / .PC3 with Windows Driver / .PC3 with Heidi Driver ?

Have a good one, Mike

The image is attached via the externalreferences. I am assuming that our Richoh printer is using a windows driver. Our plotter is an HP1050c. It appears when plotting to both.

What happens if you rotate the image outside of AutoCAD 2007 ie Rotate the image in your chosen imaging software.

Then attach the pre-rotated image.

Does it Plot correctly OR does it still Plot with a green area around the image ?

How is your HP DesignJect 1050C within AutoCAD set-up...

* Windows Driver.

* Heidi Driver.

It looks as though, the HP plotter is using a windows driver. But, it's always been that way. Why start having problems now?

That's the million £ question...

Something has obviously changed or been introduced that is causing the problem / issue... tracking that something down can prove to be the difficult / time consuming part.
