In this study, the Raster Design toolset boosted productivity by up to 48%.* Learn how Raster Design can help you save time when working on an AutoCAD drawing that requires a raster image to convey design intent.
What I am having to do is, while in the raster tab once I have made my changes. On the far left side There is an insert and write ribbon. Within this ribbon there is a save image option. When I click on this it seems to save the rastering work I have done. I then always finish with a quick save just to save any non rastering work I have done over the top.
That's the way you're supposed to do it. You have two different files, vector dwg and raster. QSAVE saves the AutoCAD dwg and ISAVE saves to the raster image. If you try to close a dwg with a raster image that has changes made, it will prompt you to save, but it uses the ISAVE command to do it. If others were only using QSAVE, then they were not making changes to the raster image.
I think this is an AutoCAD bug they should fix. There needs to be a check for unsaved raster modifications before allowing the user to close the .dwg file. I raised a ticket about this with AutoCAD who did not really understand the issue.
i.e. at present, you can modify raster content in an embedded image, then click the normal QSAVE and close the file, not saving the mods to the embedded raster. This is very easy for users to lose work as there is no warning or reminder from AutoCAD.
Thank you denisd75 for pointing the solution!
It is definitely a bug because most of the users saves the file with Crtl+S (SAVE command) in our office and it works for everyone else but me. I have to do it with ISAVE first and then SAVE.
@joonas.salmi It's not a bug, see my post above. ISAVE stands for Image Save. Qsave means Quick Save and only saves a dwg. Dwg's don't normally have raster images attached. If you have Raster Design installed, you can edit an attached raster image file and so it handles image saves. AutoCAD can't do that and so it doesn't have any means to save changes to an image. It wouldn't make sense for it to do so.
Someone accepted "It's a separate download" as a solution to a thread. If so, where's the download location? Why would the education package give stress analyses and not raster design tools, and why does it SAY that it's included and students get it free. Who's accepting these solutions? Ar they actually trying or giving up, like I will be after this rant?
BUT, I do have Ltools commands which I read is a command to do something withraster tools, so they must be somewhere in there. Unfortunately, everyone references buttons and not commands I would also rather have the toolbar as well and think it's stupid that everytime I use AutoCAD I waste hours on crap like this.
Posters usually mark a solution unless it actually works. It's got nothing to do with whether or not it will work for you but in this case, if it doesn't, you are probably missing something. It's been a long time since I've used Raster tools but, when I did, it was a different shortcut to get AutoCAD to start with it enabled. Maybe you will read this before you give up and maybe it will help you, maybe not. Either way, thanks for stopping by (just to dump a rant) and good luck.
Thank you for your 2 s search. Now, try to actually download it from the download center. If you are able to do that, opposed to going to pages saying it's included in AutoCAD, as it says everywhere except for the one thread that said it's another download, then would it be possible to let me know HOW you actually installed it onto AutoCAD?
If you look at the link, you'll see there is a reported issue with the menu for the toolbar. But the solution there did no work for me. So I would love to hear your resolution. Maybe you can screencast the solution!
If you see the last picture in the previous message, you will see there is no folder in my programfiles autodesk folder called AutoCAD Raster Design. Or is it there and I don't see it? For those that start with AutoCAD I see:
You will also see that I had copied the link to the page where you got that solution in the original message and right after the last picture of the one before you replied with the thing I just showed you I can't do.
If someone has the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Raster Design 2021 folder maybe they can zip it and upload it? Then I can just put it in the correct place and move on to the next thing that doesn't work?
I'm currently assisting a co-worker with one of his raster drawings. He created a Rectangular Region of a portion to copy from the embbed raster img and tried to merge the region back. Is there a way to merge raster img back that hasn't been manipulated with? (Move, Scale, etc.) Is there a reason behind this or what causes this? I understand that when the region is moved, you are able to use the Merge to Raster IMG tool.
I'm working on a small software. My software must be export a DXF file to work with Autocad.On my DXF there area lines and a raster image. I'm reading the DXF 2002 reference (I have choose 2002 version for compatibily problems).My application don't export a "perfect" dxf but a dxf with minimum requirements to use it with AutoCad.
If I try to export from my software only lines I can read the dxf file with Autocad (but also other CAD software).My problem is the raster image. If export a dxf file with a raster image Autocad cannot read it I think because there are some error on my dxf.
What are Raster Images? Raster images consist of a rectangular grid of small squares or dots known as pixels. For example, a photograph of a house is made up of a series of pixels colorized to represent the appearance of a house. A raster image references the pixels in a specific grid. Common file formats are: .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif, .tiff.
What is OLE? Object Linking & Embedding is a proprietary technology developed by Microsoft that allows embedding and linking to documents and other objects. Microsoft Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) is a Microsoft Windows technology, which does not work in AutoCAD for Mac. When you open a drawing that contains an OLE object, it does not display in AutoCAD for Mac.
In Autodesk's Revit when exporting to DWG all images are attached to the exported drawing as external references just as "Attach Image" or IMAGEATTACH is used within AutoCAD. The dialog box "Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup" (accessed via Export>CAD Formats>DWG or DXF, alternatively via Export>Options>Export Setups DWG/DXF) does not have any setting that will bind or embed images in the exported file.
In AutoCAD External References Palette there is no Bind for image references and there is no Bind option for the -IMAGE command either. Raster image files are also included as separate files when using the ETransmit command even when "Bind external references" is used because it only binds DWG files.
Current limitations: Images that are mirrored, rotated, clipped, brightness adjusted, contrast adjusted, fade adjusted, with background transparency are not retaining their settings. Based on the needs of users these limitations may be addressed.
I am using Autocad 2022 with Arcgis for Autocad 420. I am using esri_weblayer_add to add several several layers from ArcServer. I then extract the raster images using esri_maplayer. I extract the raster images for printing purposes. If I re-open the dwg at a later time and try to measure any features they return a length of 0. The maplayers do not save with the dwg file. I believe this is a scaling issue due to the coordinate system and the maplayers not available when opening the file. I am using coordinate system of 32165. I have tried to manualy assign the coordinate system after opening the file but that does not help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your post and using ArcGIS for AutoCAD! I see you are using version 420. If at all possible it would great if you could download the currently latest version, 430.1. Once installed please try your described workflow again and post back how this turns out.
Need to convert drawings we only have in a .pdf version to a .dwg and open in ACAD. Once converted needs to be fully editable. Researched some tools, but there are issues when you try to modify the drawing.
I think this is tricky, there are a bunch of tools available for download online, but they work best if your pdf was created from an autocad drawing and retains the vector information. (eg: PDF to DWG/DXF Converter - PDF2DWG Software ) I heard that adobe illustrator has an export to dwg feature as well?
If you have Adobe Illustrator available it can do this. You can open a PDF in Illustrator and break the layers open. Illustrator can save directly as an ACAD *.DWG or *.DXF file. I have done this and even though it is some work it does work well.
