This works as a toggle. Click it again to remove the portion of the image outside the clip boundary. As is true when working with external references, each image can have only one clip boundary. If you no longer need the clip boundary, do not try to erase the clip boundary, because doing so will actually erase the entire image file. Instead, click the Remove Clipping tool to get rid of the clip boundary. If you no longer want to see the image, you can toggle it on and off by clicking the Show Image button.

You can also make the background color of some types of image files transparent so that you can see objects behind the image. Clicking the External References button displays the External References palette. Here, the image file appears in the list just like any other external reference.

You can see its current status. When you right-click the image reference name, you can use the tools in the shortcut menu to unload, reload, or detach the image, or adjust the path. When you are done adjusting the image, press ESC to deselect the image, which also turns off the contextual ribbon. Skip to main content. When I have the time, I always prefer to throw some trace over the hardline drawing and do a quick 'fat pen' sketch.

But sometimes, I don't have that time. Options mentioned above help in that regard. Are you sure you want to block this user and hide all related comments throughout the site? Features News Events Competitions. Jobs Talent Finder Active Employers. Schools School Blogs Forum. Features News.

Message 17 of Oddly enough many of my clients have moved away from such effects because they actually lost more jobs when presented to look like hand drawn drawings. Ah well, to each his own.

Message 18 of Thanks for all the responses. Our dealer, however, would be more than happy to send a CD of the extensions.

So, i'll see if the Napkin Sketch would be a better alternative. Marketing people wanted to present floor plans with softer lines giving it a warmer appeal to the drawing and a hand-drawn look would give it some artistic element to their presentation.

It is also used to be superimposed on other elements or as a background on presentation boards. I totally agree with this because it gives clients the impression that creative designers and not just some computer are actually designing the project, makes it more personable and gives it more character. Now if you are presenting to a contractor or engineer, that's a different story. Message 19 of It is more than just the perception of how long the drawing took.

For whatever reason, people tend to think of 'hand drawn' as less final, and think of the crisp, perfect look of a normal plotted drawing as finished.

Thus, when they see a preliminary design in a crisp plotted look, they are less likely to make the comments and changes that are needed. If you present the preliminary drawings hand drawn, the client will perceive an opportunity to question the design, and the actual final design will be better as a result. Something like Squiggle makes this process much faster, which means you can be more profitable, have more time for design because you spend less time ion the presentation , etc.

If you don't do one of the two, you run the risk of the client not making changes durring the design process where those changes belong, and either making them later, or not making them at all and being unhappy with the results.

Note that this seems to be only where aesthetics are involved.
