Copy reference file

Hello

I am simply trying to create a duplicate (.tif) image in my drawing using the COPY REFERENCE icon in the REFERENCES dialog box. Unfortunately, the copy does not have the colors inverted (like the original does) and is showing in reverse b/w color. Is this caused by a setting or a default instruction?

  • There are couple ways to handle this. As you stated, you can create shapes over the areas to clip and use a background fill color to hide the areas you don't need.

    What I like to do is have the raster file attached to its own .dgn file. Then you can use reference manager to attach that dgn file to another dgn. This allows you to use the standard reference manipulation tools for clipping. This method makes changes to the clipped areas easier to handle.

    One other option is to attach the raster to your current file. Place it on an independent level. Now you can attach your current file to itself. In the active file, turn off the level for the raster image. Make sure the level is turned on in the self reference and now you can use the reference manager modification tools to clip the self reference.

    All depends on what you are comfortable doing.
