Hey all,

I'm currently designing a new templating system for work.

At the moment, they have multiple different template files for different scales etc., and they draw the design inside the template.

They have hundreds of unused layers - and drawings all around the templates where they have saved over the templates.

Basically - it's a real mess - so I'm starting from scratch and I've made a new template in paper space, complete with viewport so that they just draw in the model space and scale accordingly.

However, they want the logo on the template - so I added the logo as a Raster Image File.

There is currently a border around the image - does anyone know how to remove the border around a Raster Image?

The system I'm making should mean that they will just have one template file with various different layouts within the file for different paper sizes. I've also added plot templates, so that they just select the paper size and they press plot (No messing around with windows, extents etc.).

However, whenever I plot in colour the borders around the template are unevenly thick (I.e. The line-type varies) - It appears as it should when I print in Monochrome - Is this just a plotter fault? Maybe the colour ink is running low...

Thanks,

Marky

make sure you have the image lyer active, type IMAGEFRAME (caps optional) then set value to '0' - this will remove the boarder, set back to '1' if you want the frame back.

as far as the plot lines being uneven thikness in colour i cant really comment, the type of stuff i do on autocad is printed in black and white but i imagine its some weird quirk as the plotter converts the file to PDF or whatever. have you tried the autocad community? masses and asses of knowledge their.

When you're in paper space / model space do you have the LWT on or off? You may be able to see if there are multiple lines / layers causing the uneven thickness and remove the offending parts.

Other than that you may have to go into the plot style manager from the file menu and look through all the layer settings to see if they have a predetermined thickness assigned to the layers causing this problem?
