skipsophrenic Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just so i understand you want to scan an image in and then trace over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea1307 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 you can insert an image and scale it to the appropriate size then draw over it, you cant snap to point on the image so its not super accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 you can insert an image and scale it to the appropriate size then draw over it, you cant snap to point on the image so its not super accurate You can place the image behind your known dimensions. Doing so, gives you a dimensioned image, not bad for the simple "junque" that I do. All 2D plan and elevation views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 To insert an image into your drawing, use the IMAGEATTACH command. Or go to your "Insert" menu and select "Raster Image Reference". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap2 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Just so i understand you want to scan an image in and then trace over it? That is correct. I would like to place the image on level 1, then complete the trace on level two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the Raster Image function with a jpeg format file and couldn't see that it loaded the file, the autocad page remained blank. Any suggestions.
