AutoCAD How to Remove Border From Images - Plus PDFs & A Quick Trick!

2 Minute Tuesday | CAD Intentions: Hey Everybody! Brandon here with yet another 2-Minute Tuesday, extending the continuous streak to somewhere over a dozen in a row! In today’s video we are taking a quick look at the various commands in AutoCAD to turn on / off or remove borders from images, ole objects, pdfs, and wipeouts!

Although I don’t really see the point in removing this border form your pdf exports as if you try to print this out, the edges will still be cut off, I guess this could be helpful in some unique scenarios. Maybe if you are trying to connect sheets of paper to make a larger sheet this might make a scene but for most of the theatrical use that we have this simply does not make any scene. I also like how they tried to include at the very end that you should be following the account. It makes it seem much less like an article and more like a youtube video. Perhaps that is what it is. It is just a youtube video embedded into an article. That is kind of silly. Why not just have the youtube video with no words. No one is going to read the words. I didn’t read the words. I just watched the video. This also is a poorly designed website. It has the video thumbnail on the screen twice which does not make any sense.

I thought that this article was pretty amusing and cute. The idea of a two minute Tuesday where this page gives a tutorial on AutoCAD or other software is kind of endearing to me, and what drew me to go through the article. Currently, the freshmen design and production class are taking a weekly AutoCAD class with David Boevers. There were are learning basic steps in 2-D concepts to give us a taste of drafting on a computer software. It was really interesting to learn something new from an outside source, and this actually, contrary to Jake's comment, seems quite a useful hack to me. It is really cool to learn something unautocad related that you can do in autocad, if that makes sense. Like you would not normally think to go to autocad to remove a border from an image, and now I know a free and easy hack to do so rather than having to dig through sketchy websites that do it for you and having to download a sketchy file.
