TRANSPARENCY
Controls whether background pixels in an image are transparent or opaque.
Manage Raster Images
You can view and manipulate raster images and change paths to image files
using the External References palette.
View Raster Image Information
You can view file-specific information about the raster images that are attached
to a drawing. You can also load and unload the images and perform other
operations using the External References palette.
In the External References palette, you can view image information either as
a list or as a tree in the File References Pane. To control how the information
is displayed in the External References palette, click the List View or Tree View
button in the upper-right corner. The list view displays the name of each
image in the drawing, its loading status, size, date last modified, and search
path. The tree view lists the images in a hierarchy that shows their nesting
level within referenced drawings and blocks. The status, size, and other
information is displayed below in the Details pane.
In either view, you can display information about an image; attach or detach
the image; unload or reload the image; and browse for and save a new search
path.
Use the List View
The list view displays the images and any other external references attached
to the current drawing, but it does not specify the number of instances. It is
the default view. You can sort the external references by categories by clicking
the column headings. Change the width of a column by dragging its border
to the right or left.
The following information is displayed in the list view:
■ Name of the image or selected external reference
■ Status (loaded, unloaded, or not found)
■ File size
■ File type
