CAD:Image

Description

It is a basic object for inserting images in the drawing. Inserted Images can be BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG and TIFF

When the inserted image is an 1-bit Image (B&W) then the background color of the image (usually the white) is shown transparent and the other color is shown black or white, depending on the background color. This is useful for drawings to be scanned and then inserted as images in other drawings.

Image has a Scale property that is used to resize keeping the aspect ratio of the image. The image is defined by InsertionPoint, Rotation, Width and Height.

Images are not imbedded in the DWG file format. In this case the image frame searches for the file ing the ImagePath and renders it in the image frame at the ImageScale.

If the file is not found the image frame then checks for the file in the File Support Path. If not found in the File Support Path the image frame searches for the file name in the drawing directory.
