An AutoCAD Hip Tip about Images

Well I made it to Sweden, and the weather is actually quite nice (so I'm feeling a little silly about bringing my winter coat).  I have decided to blame www.weather.com for leading me astray! I am staying in the smallest hotel room in the world - barely able to fit the spacious twin size bed in the room.  : )   At least the bed is quite comfortable...so on to our Hip Tip

AutoCAD Hip Tip:

In order to edit an image (move, erase, etc) you need to have the frame on (IMAGEFRAME set to 1).  Often, however, we prefer to have the frame turned off for printing (IMAGEFRAME set to 0).   Consequently we find ourselves flipping this system variable back and forth from 0 to 1, which is quite tedious.  AutoCAD 2006 introduced a new setting for IMAGEFRAME which now allows us to have the best of both worlds.  We can now set IMAGEFRAME to 2 which means the frame will display for editing purposes, but it won't print - Awesome!

So there's your Hip Tip from Sweden!
