Raster Image Frames in pdf

Hi Guys,

i have a dgn file with another dgn as a reference where raster images are included.
Now i want to print my geometry with this raster as a background from an layout model but in the pdf every raster image frame is drawn. (but i dont need them on my pdf)
Interesting is when i print out of the normal model these frames will not be drawn.

But i have to use the created layout models because of mapsheet etc....

Maybe u can help me to get these frame sout of my pdf

Greetz and Cheers

  • the grid is not there anymore when i detach the images

    That tells us that the grid is part of the raster images.

    thats not really a "grid" ...ist more a boundary of the raster tiles ...or?

    If you use a different raster viewer (i.e. not MicroStation) can you still see those grid lines?

  • Did you activate the following in your preferences?

    I just checked with an attached raster file which I assigned a yellow color. When this setting is activated a yellow boundary shows around the raster file.

  • i think i haven't explained it Right


     the grid is not there  when i detach the rasters means the grid isn't part of the output anymore

    before i don't print a pdf is don't see any grid in the microstation

    and when i print directly out of the model i have also no grid on the output

    ist only there in the case i print a pdf out of another model than the Default one

    oh..i think thas much more confused...or?

  • the Preference Raster Manager is set on NEVER

    BUT:

    i haven't explained it ...the rasters are on a reference file which were a dwg file and i saved it as a dgn.
    Could it be that the raster images has stored a frame from the dwg file?

  • are you able to go where the dwg or the ref dgn  and determine if the are rasters not embedded and what they are called and if they are jpg are there any jgw sister files too... if they are TIFF or ECW they wont need sister files..  and file path....

    so now create a new dgn and via raster manager attach the original rasters and there should not be a border even if you attach them on a level just for the rasters...

    if they don't have a geo file like  jgw for jpg, the acad drafter may have added them by hand via the grid boxes (this has happened  to me before) ... you can fix this

    ref attach the dwg to a new dgn trace the boxes now you need to know which raster goes where, so attach the rasters one at a time interactive  via the box out lines... make sure the box is on a non print layer and the raster is on a different  layer that  prints... once all done you select  via the raster manager the rasters one at a time  and  export  them to GEOTIFF  from the options

    this will put the coordinates and datum into the raster files header... then  detach them all and reattach the GEOTIFFs not interactive  via  the raster manager  and it will reproject them to the right coordiantes without any grid or box lines... then replace this file as your raster reference holding file... very quick fix just sounds alike a lot as I didn't want to leave any steps out... oh  I forgot  you need to add a CGS to your dgn file  so you can let the cords and datum etc go with the GEOTIFFs
