Image Insertion

An image entity represents copies of Image Definitions. Copies of image definitions can be inserted into a drawing using the Image Insertion Tool. To insert an image, it is required that the image definition exists in Image Library. Image definitions are added to the Image Library using the Manage Image Definitions Tool.

A image entity consists of the following data in addition to the Common Data:

Property Name	Data Type	Description
Origin Point	3D Point (X, Y, Z coordinates)	The images reference's base point.
Dimension	2D Point (X, Y size real numbers)	Size of image.
Rotation Angle	Scientific Data	Angle of rotation about insertion point
File Name	Text	Full path including filename with extension for image.
Show Image	Boolean	If checked (true), shows actual image, else shows only a border for the image.
Unaligned	Boolean	If checked (true), shows image unaligned.
Clip Image	Boolean	If checked (true), clips image to borders, else leaves image unclipped.
Transparent Image	Boolean	If checked (true), makes image transparent.

The above properties are shown in the Selection Property Tree when an image entity is selected using the Selection Tool.
