How to select an image with a '0' IMAGEFRAME?

[aduncanE8VUL]

Trying to create a title block and set the imageframe and oleframe to '0' to remove the outline, but now the bmp logo will not save to the title block and I can not select it to make any changes to this logo. How can I select this image to save it to the title block or revert it to '2' so I can select it? or even just delete it so I can reinsert it or whatever I can do besides start over with everything.

Click on the edge of the image

Use a crossing window

Shift + left click anywhere inside the image

These should easily select the image with IMAGEFRAME off. Are you sure you don't have another problem with this image that is preventing you from selecting it?

The IMAGEFRAME and FRAME variables affect your image outline (FRAME overwrites IMAGEFRAME). They are "System Variables" and will persist across autocad drawing sessions, they are not applied on a per-drawing or per-image basis.

How are you trying to "save it to the block"?
If there is nothing to select, then how can you see it? Is the layer locked?

It is mostly preferred to save an OLE image inside of a title block. Have you opened the block for edit and pasted the OLE image? Have you tried changing the FRAME or IMAGEFRAME variables? 

...can you post an example drawing file of what this image looks like?

Best,

Are you positive the real issue is simply that the reference path to the BMP file is no longer applicable?

Open the XREF Palette and look for little yellow triangle at your missing content's name.

I can not click on the edge of the image, it does not highlight or anything it's as if it is part of the grid. It is not locked in the layers. None of those things helped me to select it.  I don't know if there is another problem with the image, it was fine until I did the Imageframe number. I would just delete it but I can not select it

Set imageframe to 2.

This is visible, but does not plot.

Post a drawing file so we can look at the image.

Could also try QSELECT, then filter by the entity type to select it.

no notification--I added the logo by opening it in paint and selecting it and doing pastespec to insert

[aduncanE8VUL]

I Can not select it to change anything

[aduncanE8VUL]

I tried a test block without it and it wouldn't load into a new document. I haven't used autocad in years and have spent all day building this dumb little title block and can't even get it to work. Maybe it is better to just stick to hand drawing. 😞

AutoCAD seems to think you should be able to select it, see the pop-up

Share that DWG file here please.

[aduncanE8VUL]

I see that says frozen I don't know why because when I opened it up this morning it does not say frozen and I still can't select it.  the pop up shows up when you hover.

[pendean]

You may have sent me the wrong DWG file, there are only Plines in this one

[aduncanE8VUL]

sorry about that

@aduncanE8VUL ,

I have never ran into this issue before, but evidently somebody has. Here is an Autodesk article that solved the issue in your drawing:

https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Embedded-OLE-canno... 

In summary, set your OLEFRAME variable to 1 or 2, then you can delete/move/copy/etc..

Best,
