Adjust Image Size Using Grips

[SB-cad]

Hi all.

Here's another item that no longer works after our office-wide computer and CAD upgrade ... to Win 7 / ACAD 2013 ...

We regularly use screen-shot .bmp images from a map site to do our location maps ... and .bmp images for a rendering on the cover sheet. Once the images are edited, cropped / etc. as we want, using a photo program, then saved to the project folder, we insert them to the CAD file. We use the GRIPS to dynamically adjust the image size, snapping to line work.

Problem ... no more GRIPS. We can no longer figure out how to dynamically adjust the image size. Imageframe is set to "1". We could do math calculations to get it sized ... but ... we didn't have to do that with ACAD 2009 on WinXP.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

Can you see the frame, or is that missing along with the grips

You may check if the FRAME (3) and FRAMESELECTION (1) variables have been altered. (default values shown in parentheses)

Yes, I can see the frame.

I checked your other suggestions ... FRAME (3) and FRAMESELECTION (1) variables had not been altered. Just in case, I tested other variables to see if it made a difference. Nope. I then set everything back to default.

Well, that stinks. Apparently Autodesk didn't bother asking anyone who uses that feature before they dropped it. Or they changed it to nondefault behavior.

In that situation another option is using the Align command. You'll need at least two points that correspond. Pick one point in the image and the corresponding point in the drawing. Do the same for a second pair of points. You can finish there or pick a third pair of points. Finally, specify whether you want scaling as well as rotating.

I have grips on images (bmps) when I insert/attach them in (vanilla) 2013. Can you post a sample drawing?

[SB-cad]

Ok. I tried the ALIGN command. That works decent ... and easier than doing the math.

If the grips thing doesn't get resolved, this will have to be our new way to size the .bmps.

Thanks!

Sure...

Well ... I tried. This site would not let me upload a. zip file (the CAD file and (2) .bmps) ... "Upload of file failed". I tried the individual files ... the CAD file uploaded, but it called the .bmps "Invalid File".

Let's try this...

Uh ... I tried to. The post didn't post.

Edit: It now posted ... the one displayed before this one.

Ok. That explains why things were not working. I got errors in attempting to upload a zip file ... then errors w/ the individual .bmp files ... all over 500 kb. I then uploaded to our web server, with a hyperlink. Guess we'll just have to wait.
