    Cool Re: Raster Import

    autocad lt 2008 does'nt support command raster image, but we can still to manipulate this command (raster image) by inserting a block (drawing) that contain the image, then we can edit to change the image as necessary in xref pallet, just change path and image name by browse the file at the "found at" xref's palettes properties, if u need to insert more than one images, simply to rename the block name and the image name, otherwise u will insert the same image over and over..
    maybe the explanation is too much confusing , so i share my menu to make u easier, just copy paste the code below, into ur pulldown menus or tools palettes menus, i prefer to choose the palettes...

    ^c^c-INSERT;IMAGE;\;;;-ren;b;image;$m=$(getvar,date);explode;l;;^c^c-purge;b;image;n;

    ps:
    to execute this menu, u should provide a drawing contain an image tobe inserted, and store it in the support search path folder and name the file as image.dwg,
    to insert multiple images..u still need to rename the previous image name in xref palettes
    after the command executed..u must browse for the image in the xref palettes..

    Neat way to do things, question though, if you delete and purge the block, will it removed the unreferenced image from the drawing, or will it remain (this causes the delay in open and save in drawings that have an unreferenced image)?

    but how do you attach the image to a file so that you can insert that file as a block containing an image?

    Get someone with AutoCAD to do it once.

    Take what away? I don't believe LT has ever been able to insert images.

    They might be referring to what I said earlier, if you view LT as a stripped down version of acad.

    True.... You gotta take away something to knock 75% off the price of AutoCAD....
