Modifying Other Image Properties
Use the Properties palette to modify image properties such as the following:
■ Frame color, layer, linetype, and linetype scale
■ Image brightness, contrast, and fade
■ Location
■ Rotation, width, height, and scale
■ Image transparency and transparency color
The settings apply only to the selected images.
NOTE This command does not affect images you added using Data Connect
(page 440).
Rotation is in degrees (or the units set by the AUNITS system variable); scale,
width, and height are based on the unit of measurement used in the drawing.
When you insert an image, it is inserted on the current AutoCAD layer. Since
AutoCAD Map 3D controls the visibility and behavior of the layers, you can
move an image to another AutoCAD layer to take advantage of the layer
properties. For example, to display images, but not edit them, move the images
to an AutoCAD layer and lock the layer.
