If the circuit drawing file name contains the path of the
drawing file referring to the User folder or the wd_user-
ckt_dir defined folder, the browsed image is copied to the
User folder if wd_userckt_dir is disabled in the .env file or
the wd_userckt_dir defined folder if wd_userckt_dir is en-
abled in the .env file. If the file does not exist, the Create
Circuit alert dialog box displays asking you if you want to
create the circuit.
If the circuit drawing file name contains the path of the
drawing file that doesn’t refer to the User or wd_userckt_dir
defined folder, the browsed image is copied to the Images
folder and saved as a relative path in the .dat file. However,
you can enclose the image path in quotation marks if you
do not want the image copied to the Images folder and to
save the complete path instead of the relative path in the
.dat file. The entered image file name can be names like
"PB1" or "CONTROL RELAY," file names with an extension
such as “pb1.png,” or it can follow the syntax {slide_library
or dll file (slide or .png)}. For example, "S2(pb)" or
"S7(control_relay)."
NOTE The image file name cannot contain invalid charac-
ters such as \ / : " ? < > | and only .png and .sld image files
are supported.

NOTE This option is unavailable if you enter an image file
name with the syntax {slide_library or dll file (slide or
.png)}” For example, “S2(pb)” or “S7(control_relay)”. It is
also unavailable if the Image File edit box contains the im-
age file path instead of the image file name.
