Raster editing issues

Ron Pfrogner
Offline

I am working for a client that uses Microstation V8. Some of the drawings have .tif images attached, while some are only tif that i need to attach myself to blank Microstation files. the problem I have been having is that once i attach the tif i am unable to modify it. i am using I.RASB and all the functions of the rater manager work correctly. however none of the features of the modify panel work. i get an error message "no raster layer loaded" does anybody have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,

    I am assuming you are trying to modify the TIF image in I/Rasb. You will need to make sure the TIF image is Monochrome. If you are running MicroStation and I/Rasb XM then in MicroStation > Raster Manager double click on the raster image name and it will bring up an Element Information box. Under Image look at Color Mode. If it is RGB or Gray Scale then you will not be able to attach the TIF image in I/Rasb. If you are running MicroStation and I/Rasb V8.5 (2004) then do Raster Manager > Settings > Attachment and look at Format. If It is not Monochrome then you will not be able to attach the TIF image in I/Rasb.

    In I/Rasb if you do File > Layer Info > All Layers do you see your TIF attached? If not, then you will need to do File > Attach and attach your TIF image.

    If your problem is that your TIF image is not Monochrome then in MicroStation > Raster Manager you use Save As or Batch Convert and convert your TIF image and create a TIF image that is Monochrome. The steps will depend upon what version of MicroStation and I/Rasb that you are running.

    thank you for your quick reply! after reading your response, I believe it is an issue with my attachment method. Once i attach the raster it will only show up in either the raster manger or the layer info dialog box. I work primarily with AutoCAD, and dont have much experience with this version of Microstation. Could you point me in the direction of a good tutorial on the subject?
    Once again thanks for your help and information.

    I am apologize for the delay.

    What kind of tutorial are you looking for?  I have a I/Rasb Tutorial guide, but I think it may be for V7 or possibly early version of V8.  On the Learn Server you will find training for MicroStation.   I did find the attach link on the LearnServer under On-Demand for Using I/RAS B.

    I received Microstation training in school, however it was all with V8i and we did not touch on raster. As I said I am proficient with raster in AutoCAD so i know the basics of doing raster/vector work. My issue is figuring out the V8 and I/Rasb software. If there is a start to finish on the basics of attaching and working with raster in V8 that would be perfect. is the Learn Server free? If so how do i access it? Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for your help!

    Ron,

    I looked at the courses in LearnServer and they contain information about MicroStation and I/Rasb.  Your Account Manager should be able to tell you if there is a cost for the courses.  I am checking to see if there is any documentation that you can download.  I have attached the I/Rasb Tutorial guide that that I have.  I am not sure what version of I/Rasb that it was written

    for.  We think that it is for I/Rasb V8.
