When I see my imagemenu in autocad I can see my slides, but the only
thing is they are not exactly in the middle.
When I made that slide, I used the commando "Zoom Extend", then the
drawing is exact in the middle of the screen. But in the slide it
isn't.
Does somebody know's how this could be fixed?

I just dealt with this today myself. Here's two thoughts:
o After you Zoom Extend, do Zoom Scale, 95/100xp. This gives you a
little border around the edge which helps minimize small centering
errors your eye catches.
o If you can control the aspect ratio of the slide display (such as in
an image button in a DCL dialog) play with different aspect ratios.
I'm a little vague about how AutoCAD determines the size of the
slide when it is made, but it appears to me that display resolution,
aspect ratio of the drawing window, shape of the extents all play a
part in determining the contents of the slide. Try to be consistent.
It might help to create a basic lisp to do it:
(defun C:SLIDEME( / pathfile)
(command ".ZOOM" "E")
(command ".ZOOM" "S" "95/100xp")
(setq pathfile (vl-filename-base (getvar "DWGNAME")))
(setq pathfile (strcat (getvar "DWGPREFIX") pathfile))
(setq pathfile (strcat pathfile ".sld"))
(setvar "FILEDIA" 0)
(command ".MSLIDE" pathfile)
)
HTH.
