Inserts a reference to an image file.
Access Methods
Menu: Insert ➤ Raster Image Reference
Summary
When you attach an image file, you link that referenced file to the current
drawing. Any changes to the referenced file are displayed in the current
drawing when it is opened or reloaded.
The Select Reference File dialog box (a
standard file selection dialog box) is
displayed. Once you select an image file, the
Attach Image Dialog Box on page
510 is displayed.
NOTE When Texture Compression is turned on, the amount of video memory
required to open a drawing that contains attached images is decreased. Texture
compression can reduce the amount of video memory necessary to display the
drawing, but it can increase the time it takes to load the images the first time that
they are accessed; it can reduce the quality of the images when they are displayed
in the viewport or plotted. To determine whether Texture Compression is turned
on, enter -3DCONFIG. When the -3dconfig comman dis active, use the Acceleration
option followed by the Hardware and Texture Compression options.
