IMAGEFRAME Bug?

[gccdaemon]

I've got a digital signature in .png format that i keep inside a dynamic PE Seal block. That block is inserted inside a titleblock x-ref which i x-ref into all my planset sheets. Here is the problem. With FRAME and or IMAGEFRAME set to 2, the signature boundary is still plotting. Here is the catch. It's only doing this on plan sheets that don't have another image inserted. Can anyone reprodce this? If so it sound to me like there is a disconnect between x-refs and certain variables now that wasn't there before.

I have had similar issues in previous AutoCad versions where a faint frame occasionally would plot even with imageframe set to 2.
The workaround Ii used was to change the color of the frame to plot white (255).
Are the imageframe & xref attached on layer zero?

Thanks for the input Jay...lol.

Special talent!

This isn't a faint frame, it's full out plotted frame. It works propperly when i set IMAGEFRAME to 0, but then i can't select images propperly. The x-ref is on layer 0, the block is on a seperate layer, and the image inside the block is on layer 0.

Hmm, Imageframe can have a mind of it's own sometimes, good luck.

Hi,

as you have Civil3D you also have Map3D-functionality, so try to start command _MAPIOPTIONS, second tab and play with that settings for image-framing. I guess these settings override the AutoCAD ones.

Sorry for the German screenshot, just to show the position I mean.

I've been messing with the settings an this is what i've found. When i set imagefram to 0, then set frame back to 2, it plots correctly.

I took a look at what you said about the map frames. It appears when you set the IMAGEFRAME variable to 0 it removes the map frame reset. Setting the FRAME variable back to 2 takes care of messing with IMAGEFRAME again.

Hi,

You are absolutly right, thx, seems that I have not verified it enough.

Thx, - alfred -
