Re-sizing raster images Carlson CES

Try the ALIGN command.

The align command won't select the raster image. I don't want to shrink my linework, do I?

Select the image. Move the image such that one end of the line on the image coincides with the same end of the line in your drawing. Again select the image.

SCALE command.

"Specify base point:" as that same end of the line you just worked with.

"Specify scale factor or [Copy/Reference] :" Type R

"Specify reference length :" Snap to that same end of the line.

"Specify second point:" Pick other end of line in image, stretch image until line on image and line in drawing match.

Clear as mud, right? Good luck,

JB,

Make sure you have frames turned on so that you may select the image...

Hey - I learned something new, & I like it. The ALIGN command IS more elegant:

To align two objects

Click Modify menu > 3D Operation > Align.

Select the objects you want to align.

Specify the first source point and then the first destination point.

If you press ENTER now, the objects are moved from the source point to the destination point.

Specify the second source point, and then the second destination point.

Specify the third source point, or press ENTER to continue.

Specify whether you want to scale objects to the alignment points.

The objects are aligned (moved and rotated into position), and then scaled. The first destination point is the base point of the scale, the distance between the first and second source points is the reference length, and the distance between the first and second destination points is the new reference length.

Command line: ALIGN

Yeah that's probably why you can't grab the images. Type IMAGEFRAME in the command line and then type ON. Then you should be able to grab your image.

Got it guys. Thanks.
And Sarge, I use the align command A LOT. According to my testing it does a good job of pro-rating curvilinear boundary lines. Try it sometime.
