Stretch pdf graphic

[Anonymous]

How do I stretch a pdf graphic in AutoCAD LT 2006? In some of my drawings I can stretch the graphic & others I can't, even if I unlock the aspect ratio. It seems to be a system variable setting that is wrong, but which one?

Make sure OLEFRAME is on, select the image, unlock the aspect ratio in
Properties, and stretch. If it does not work, it's not an OLE?

Thanks for your reply Dean, but it still doesn't work. I've tried it with both jpg & pdf files. OLEFRAME is set to 2 & aspect ratio is unlocked.

Post a sample file... .

Hi Dean,

Thanks for your persistence.

You've got a rotated UCS in your file, and some other issues with the OLE:
is that intentional?

Set UCS to World, reattach and I think your problems will go away.

Thanks Dean, that's done the trick! The rotated UCS was not intentional. It's an old drawing that has been kicking around for a long time.

how do you unlock the aspect ratio?

PROPERTIES palette should have that category in place when you select the pdf/image.
