IMAGE FRAME help

[acollective]

I am using ACad for Mac 2013.

I have a bmp that I have inserted as an xref.

I changed the imageframe in the xref and the drawing to 0

I still see the frame in paperspace and the frame plots.

 

I am desperate! Thank you!

Welcome to CADTutor.

I'm aware that your system variables are likely different than mine, as I'm on a PC,

but these are the available system variables on my system.

Try setting it to 2, if you can, and see if that helps.

Sorry, I am not familiar with this dialogue box (I am learning 2013 mac, last used acad 2006 for PC).

Where do I find this dialogue box?

 

I am able to type in IMAGEFRAME and then 0 and that should, I think, be enough. It was with 2006 for PC.

There is a bug in 2013 PC found out pretty soon after loading that an image became solid where as 2012- was transparent, not sure if imageframe will fix, changed bitmap to traced pline.

BIGAL has some new input there which is probably relevant.

 

Try using the SYSVDLG (stands for system variables dialogue) at the commandline, and see if you get the dialogue box.

This is an Express Tool and NO Express tools in AutoCAD for MAC.

 

Did you try _FRAME = 0?

2013 PC

imageframe 0 1 2 no difference

Frame 0 1 2 no difference

 

Help says Frame options 0-3 Autocad says no only 0-2

I will go know and check Autodesk.com to see if any mention I would like fixed.

Not sure what's happening with 2013.

 

Here are the options in AutoCAD 2011

 

FRAME

Turns the display of frames on and off for all external references, images, and DWF, DWFx, PDF, and DGN underlays. The FRAME setting overrides the individual IMAGEFRAME, DWFFRAME, PDFFRAME, DGNFRAME, and XCLIPFRAME settings.

0 The frame is not visible and it is not plotted

1 Displays the frame and allows it to be plotted

2 Displays the frame but keeps it from being plotted

3 The setting varies for all attached images, underlays, and xrefs

 

It will accept 3 depending on what the values of IMAGEFRAME, DWFFRAME, PDFFRAME, DGNFRAME, and XCLIPFRAME.

 

IMAGEFRAME

Controls whether image frames are displayed and plotted.

The FRAME system variable overrides the IMAGEFRAME setting. Use the IMAGEFRAME system variable after the FRAME system variable to reset the IMAGE frame settings.

Note: Normally, when image frames are not displayed, you cannot select images. However, the IMAGECLIP command temporarily turns image frames on.

0 The image frames are not visible and they are not plotted

1 The image frames are displayed and plotted

2 The image frames are displayed but not plotted
