Answer
The best method to create a *.jpg fr autocad is to use one of its virtual printers. to do this invoke the 'print' command, select 'Publish to Web JPG.pc3', then follow instructions. The  PC3 file is customizable thru properties. play with the settings to get the right image you need. hope this helps! Let me know if require add'l assistance.
