Image frames haunting drawings

[marchitect_nc]

Recently I began using inserted jpg graphics in my drawings, but constantly have problems with the image frame showing up. I was creating the pdf's by using the Exportpdf command for single sheets and Publish to pdf for multiple sheets.

I have tried turning all frames off, setting Frameselection to off, etc, nothing has worked consistently, the image border seems to haunt my drawings.

In the past I used pdf995 to create pdf's but had abandoned it when LT's pdf creation module was improved. Today I downloaded pdf995 and created the pdf's using it and guess what...NO frames around the images in the pdf's.

Unfortunately this means not being able to create the nice sheet sets like ACAD LT can do using Publish, or I have to make it a policy to never use inserted images in my construction drawings...bummer.

In LT2013, the IMAGEFRAME=0 or =2 setting works fine.

I can only propose workaround - attach the images in a layer with lineweght=0, color 255 (it will be almost invisible)

One more point, are you attaching or pasting the images? If you paste them, then set OLEFRAME

You can PUBLISH to any driver installed on your PC, even a 3rd party PDF driver: whomever told you otherwise was misinformed.

Do you need help setting up PUBLISH and SSM with outside drivers?

Hi Dean, Thanks for the reply.

Yes I do need help.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I wasn't successful in setting up a page so that I could publish to the pdf995 driver...none of the setting changes would stick, when I clicked Close it reset back to some default...

But the idea from Bob_mpc about setting lineweight to 0 and color to 255 did provide an acceptable solution.

Setting the oleframe to 0 had no effect, still had the bold border...

Thanks all,

m

ps...I had another go at publishing to the pdf995 driver and it worked! What I was missing was changing the default page setup in the Publish dialog box. It's not aparent that you can click the list under the Page setup column...and you have to set it for every sheet.

Thanks Dean!

Simple yet inginious workaround thank you bob 🙂
