Image display in autocad 2000i (os = windows xp)

Image display in autocad 2000i (os = windows xp)

Image display in autocad 2000i (os = windows xp)

(OP)
G'day all,

Well I've come across a little problem with displaying raster images. I can insert the image, I can scale the image, I can look at the images properties, but I can't see the image unless I select the frame.

This is a major problem as I need to see the image to align it with the drawing objects. I have tried the standard autodesk Q & A help, but it hasn't been able to offer a solution. Can anyone help me as this is getting rather urgent.


Thanks

The problem sounds strang.  The following are just routine steps to make sure everything is set correctly.
1. Select the image.  Under properties make sure that "show image" is set to YES.
2. Select the image.  Under properties make sure that "show clip" is set to YES.
3. Goto INSERT-IMAGE MANAGER. Make sure the image is loaded.(not just attached).
4. After those checks. Try saving the image as another file type and reloading it.

I've solved the problem.

It appears that Autocad will not display the image all of the time when the drawing size and image size are large (5Mb and 74Mb respectively in this case). This limitation exists due to available RAM limits.

To work around this I created another drawing without all of the civil components such as gradings, topography, volumes, etc. to reduce the drawing size and subsequently it also reduced the amount of RAM required to run the drawing. When the photo was aligned correctly in the new drawing I stripped all of the non essential data from the drawing and inserted it into the drawing where I had the problem.

I now have a drawing that still does not display the photo, however, it will print the photo in the correct location and alignment.

Regards

sc
