LT2008

Well after searching for threads and forums on LT2008 with very little luck I've decided to post my question here and apologize in advance if I'm in the wrong forum for this question.

I'm having some issues with xrefs on LT2008... I assume that LT doesn't support the reference of an standard image file ie. .jpg or .bmp. ? I've tried to reference images that I need without luck. I have been able to paste the image from the clipboard (sorta cheezy, I know) but I'm reaching here.... anyways I'm unable to rotate the image in a manner that is helpful .

If I rotate the object as I would normally rotate an object, what I get is a polar movement of the position of the entire object around the base point I've selected. Any regeneration of the drawing causes the image to disappear from the drawing... so UCS is out.

Is there anyway that I can rotate the object and keep the image? Or any way of referencing the image that I'm unaware of? Or am I just SOL because I'm working with LT?

LT2009 can reference images.

With earlier versions, you just have to deal with OLE images or the lack of control over IMAGE references that may have been created with a version of AutoCAD that supports creating references.

There are probably some good tips regarding pre2009 IMAGEs found here:

...if you are so interested.

Is it a little odd that the help file says that it supports the referencing of raster files?
