I have a dgn file with several SID raster images attached. This DGN file is then referenced into several other DGNs (cutsheets). How can I turn off the purple frame that comes around each of the SID files? Iam trying to make these frames disappear when I create PDFs
My version is V8i SS3 08.11.09.459
thank you
Have you tried creating a PDF? The purple frames should not print.

Hi Liviu,

Can you share a screen capture to demonstrate what purple frames do you mean?
By default, rasters are highlighted when they are selected in Raster Manager. It can be changed in User preferences, category Raster Manager. But usually there is no reason to change this setting, because normally they are not highlighted and no frame is displayed.
And as Bob wrote, the highlighting is not printed.
With regards,

Jan,
Thanks for getting back to me. By "purple frame" I mean the outline of the raster images (i.e. the SID files). These are on the same level as the raster itself so I cannot turn them off. They are not visible on the screen unless I hover over them with the mouse but they do become visible (as thin white lines) when I make PDFs.
thanks again
P.S. I got a screenshot that I was going to show you but not sure how I can share it... I'm trying to figure it out

based on you description I assume no such elements "exist on the same level": When cursor hover over a raster element, its borders are highlighted by default in the same way as any other element is highlighted. Because the raster does not contain anything that can be highlighted, border shape is displayed dynamicaly (but it does not exist in a model).

You have not written anything about white lines so far, this is new information and it changes the described problem substantially. Do you mean "white lines are displayed, but (I guess) printed as black lines"?
As I wrote already, how rasters' borders are displayed is defined in User Preferences (category Raster Manager, tab General, setting Display Raster Border) . Did you check what is you current setting? From you description I assume it's set to Always, but default value is When selected.
Liviu Sfintescu said:but not sure how I can share it
Did you try Insert > Insert image/video/file tool in a post editor?
My "Display Raster Border" settings is set to "When Selected".
My issue is that these raster borders show as white lines when I create PDFs and I am not sure what to do so that they DO NOT show up at all on the PDFs?
thanks
