Does anyone know how i can crop a portion of a TIF file that has been inserted in AutoCAD? I would like to keep all my work in modelspace and i dont want to have to make a viewport in order to display the section i need. Thanks for the help
 
Hi pbelectech,

Right click on the image and select "adjust" then "clip". You'll get several options on the command line - just follow the bouncing ball.

Can't. When i go to adjust it gives me a "Bitonal images cannot be adjusted" in the command line. I'm inserting the TIF as a Raster Image. It doesnt display properly
If i try to insert it any other way (ie. OLE object) Any other advice? Or should i just start using viewports on the layout tabs?

Thanks
 
Hi pbelectech,

Have you tried the command IMAGECLIP? I've never worked with bitonal images before but I don't see anything that says they can't be clipped.

IMAGECLIP will work for a TIF file. You must have clicked IMAGEADJUST.
What do you mean "..should i just start using viewports on the layout tabs?" What does that have to do with clipping an inserted image?
