I have a jpg image inserted into my acad dwg. I would like to chop half of it off. How do I do this? It seems all I can do is enlarge it or reduce the size, but not edit it. Thanks in advance as always!

There's probably a way to do it in ACAD, but wouldn't it just be as easy to crop it in your photo program (Windows Picture Viewer or whatever it's called; Preview on Mac, Photoshop, etc.), then just re-import it?

_imageclip This from an older version of acad, before I retired, almost 7 years ago. It was from the modify pull down, clip--> image, if I remember correctly.

In LDD 2004, click on the edge of the image, right click, pick image, pick clip, follow the prompts. I don't know if later versions are the same.

_imageclip should work. It's an autocad map command.

Not just Map, it's available in vanilla AutoCAD as well.

You can clip rectangular or by irregular boundary

If you use XREF to insert the image then use the XCLIP command it will work to crop the image in your drawing while leaving the original image in its own file intact.
