Figure 18-10:
The Select Reference File dialog box.
3. Browse to find the file you want to attach, select it, and then click Open.
The Attach Image dialog box appears.
Click the Show Details button in the Attach Image dialog box to see more
information about the resolution and image size of the image you're attaching.
4. Specify the parameters for the attached image in the dialog box.
Parameters include the insertion point, scale factor, and rotation angle. You can set
these parameters in the dialog box or specify them on-screen, similar to what you
can do with blocks and external references, as described earlier in this chapter.
The Attach Image dialog box includes the same Full Path, Relative Path, and No
Path options as those for attaching xrefs. (See the “Forging an xref path” section,
earlier in this chapter.)
5. Click OK.
The image appears in your drawing.
6. If you need to ensure that the raster image floats behind other objects in the
drawing, select the raster image, right-click, choose Draw Order, and then choose
Send to Back.
The DRAWORDER command provides additional options for which ob-
jects appear on top of which other objects. If you need this kind of flexibility, look
up
DRAWORDER command
in the AutoCAD online help system.
