Topic: ImageFrame....

[Andrea]

Hi all,..

a little question...

How can I keep "imageframe" in memory ?

I can't do (getvar "imageframe").....

is there any other variable ?

thanks

well...cant you just use
(command "imageframe" "on")

There are three states 0, 1 or 2 so you can show the image but not having it plotted. This command is saving the value in the drawing in the dictionary ACAD_IMAGE_VARS.
Observere that AutoCAD 2006 has three states now 0, 1 or 2 but the dictionary value is 0, 1 or 3  
A simple way to retrieve the value is:

Code: [Select]


(defun imageframe ()
  (setq dict (dictsearch (namedobjdict) "ACAD_IMAGE_VARS"))
  (if (not dict)
     0
     (cdr (assoc 70 dict))
  )
)

Oops,....Crank,

Your code is not working the first time..
need to run the "imageframe" first...

The command IMAGEFRAME creates the dictionary. If the dictionary doesn't exist, then this function returnes 0 (= off).
So I don't think that you have to use the command IMAGEFRAME first to get the value.
