You will most likely have to open the wood image in a photo editing program, rotate it, and save with different name.

I do this before I used in Dcad, so I have both pictures, one vertical and other horizontal.
When I load it to Dcad both are in same direction (horizontal).

Hello Orba,

Check you have loaded the correct new image as making a copy of the original image, rotating it 90' then saving it as a different name should work.

Hello Orba,

Hmmm....the only other things that come to mind is to check the layer you are inserting the bitmap image is not locked or, if you have more than one version of DataCAD installed, that the directory/folder where you saved the rotated image to is the same you access when inserting the image. It should work. Did you open the rotated image in an image editor (Visual Image, Windows etc.) to see it shows as rotated?

I don't know what is wrong. I thing I do it the right way, but doesn't work.
Yes I open the image like that, and is ok, one vertical and the other horizontal. It's make me crazy.
Thanks for your help.

have only been 1/2 following this post.
Is there a setting for materials by entity or material by layer that could be affecting this?????

Have nothing to do with it.
I change this setting back and forward and nothing happens.
Thanks anyway.
