AutoCAD 2007/2008/2009 DWG Format

[#1]

Hello everyone,

I have just installed AutoCad 2009 on a Windows 7 PC. When I asked the end-user to come and test it to make sure she was happy with it, she asked where the Raster was?

I have looked through the software and searched google on how to open/enable the Raster but I canont see it anywhere.

Please can someone advise me on how I enable this function in AutoCad 2009?

Thanks

James.

Raster doesn't come with plain Autocad, you have to buy it.

Thanks. I think I have the Raster capability installed as today I have worked out that I can go to File > Insert > Raster Image Reference.

I can select a file and see a preview but when I click OK and then OK again to open, nothing opens...

OK.

I have found that after doing the above I had to 'specify on screen' where I would like the raster to be - as it asked when going through the opening process.

So that is that answered.

My next question is, How do I have the raster open when I load a drawing - I assume there is a setting for this somewhere?

[#5 · Accepted solution]

It should still be there on the drawing, unless the image got moved to another location.

Type in CLASSICIMAGE, it should tell you more about where it was.

Brilliant.

I was saving to another location away from the raster's original location.

Once I saved back to the same location after adding in the raster it was there

Thanks everyone.
