Coffeefiend Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Good afternoon all, I'm creating a cover sheet for a drawing set, and I would like I add some PDF images to it. I had no problems x-refing them into the sheet, but because all images have to be assigned a layer, all of the PDFs are bordered by a line of that layer's weight and color. I tried to assign the layer "do not plot", but the images don't plot either when I do. Is there a way to x-ref a PDF image into my sheet and prevent the border line from printing? I'm using AutoCAD 2010. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 try PDFFRAME for PDF's. Set it to 0 for no frame, 1 for the frame, and 2 to see the frame but it won't plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeefiend Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 hey, it worked! Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGarcia Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Also imageframe should work too. I never heard of PDFRAME. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicman Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 try PDFFRAME for PDF's. Set it to 0 for no frame, 1 for the frame, and 2 to see the frame but it won't plot. Thank you SO much! This is honestly the only place on the web I could find the proper info to correct this problem. imageframe does NOT work for PDF's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Here's all the info needed for anything having to do with "Frames". Think of the FRAME command as the global setting for all items that consist of frame borders. And glad you found this useful. http://exchange.autodesk.com/autocad/enu/online-help/browse#WS73099cc142f48755-1257e12111bf108800e3ca5.htm The FRAME setting overrides the individual IMAGEFRAME, DWFFRAME, PDFFRAME, DGNFRAME, and XCLIPFRAME settings. 0 The frame is not visible and it is not plotted. The frame temporarily reappears during selection preview or object selection. 1 Displays and plots the frame. 2 Displays but does not plot the frame. 3 The individual setting varies for all external references in the current drawing (images, underlays, and clipped xrefs all have different frame settings).
