Question
I imported an image into autocad and I am trying to enlarge to a specific size. The image imported with a frame around it and  I need to remove it.
Thanks

Answer
Hi -- you neglected to mention the release of AutoCAD -- this is common here. I guess folks think it never changes, so the same solutions always apply.

I am hoping you meant you only want to reduce or enlarge the image, keeping the proportions. Simply do what you would do with anything else:
-- find the ratio between this size and the new size
-- use SCALE to  scale it up.

If you need to change the proportions, you will need to clip the image, using IMAGECLIP. This is easy, and is documented in HELP.

Images always have a frame. (otherwise, how could you use grips to move or scale them???).  
THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM HELP IN 2006==
Command line: imageframe
Enter image frame setting [0, 1, 2] <current>: Enter an option or press ENTER
0   Image frames are not displayed and not plotted.
1   Image frames are both displayed and plotted.
2   Image frames are displayed but not plotted.

I would select 2 -- so you can see the frame to manipulate, but it will not plot.

Gently -- this is all in any good AutoCAD book that I always say should be next to your computer, and most of it is in HELP.  On recent releases, if you have an object selected, the right-click context menu has the solutions.

I try to teach people how to look things up, so they wont get stuck and have to wait for assistance.

Write back with details if the above does not do it.
