Raster image

Raster images are part of the drawing. Raster images behave like other drawing objects, so you can rotate, move, copy, scale, clip them as well.

Command location: Drafting > Raster image

You can apply special commands for raster images like adjust an image for transparency, crop, and clip the image with a rectangle or polygon. The image file formats supported by ARCHLine.XP include the most common formats like BMP, PNG, JPG, and TIF. Images can be 1-bit black and white, 8-bit, 16 bit, or 24-bit colour depth. ARCHLine.XP supports the transparent pixels. Transparency is scalable between 0-255. ARCHLine.XP can import Raster file formats that support transparency include GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF, through an alpha channel.

Raster images can be managed in the Image manager dialog: you can attach, detach, reload, hide an image or show only its frame on the current drawing.
