Hello all,


How would I re-scale or enlarge a Bitmap image in DataCAD?

Thanks a bunch,

CADwk

Use Enlarge, Calc Distance, pick to points of a known distance, then select your image.

If your image width to height ratio is off, you can use Datacad to measure and figure out how much the one direction is off and then use an image editor to stretch/enlarge in one direction to get things back to scale for that direction.

I find that manipulating the bitmap image files as a a self xref or even an external reference file, offers more flexibility and control than trying to work with it directly. This is especially helpful when trying to rotate the bitmap but works very well for enlargements and even cropping.

I keep forgetting to try this, thanks Jim. Does the image fidelity stay pretty good when enlarging an image within an xref in different x/y values?

I have not tried a non-proportional enlargement, but the image fidelity hold up the same either way.

Obviously if the original image is distorted, trying to re-scale it back to it's original proportions will always be a bit dodgy.

Thanks guys for the help!

It is much appreciated.

Hope to chat with you again,
