■ Date and time file was last saved
■ Name of the saved path
If an image cannot be found, its status is listed as Not Found. A Not Found
image is displayed as an image boundary in the drawing even if the
IMAGEFRAME system variable is set to off. If the image is unreferenced, no
instances are attached for the image. If the image is not loaded, its status is
Unloaded. Images with a status of Unloaded or Not Found are not displayed
in the drawing.
Use the Tree View
The top level of the tree view lists referenced files in the order that they were
attached. In most cases an image file is linked directly to the drawing and
listed at the top level. However, if a DWG file reference or a block contains a
linked image, additional levels are displayed.
View Image File Details
In the lower panes of the External References palette, you can preview a
selected image or view image file details, including
■ Image name
■ Saved path
■ Active path (where the image is found)
■ File creation date
■ File size
■ File type
■ Color
■ Color depth
■ Image size (pixel width and height, resolution and default size)
View Image Information in the Text Window
You can view image information at the Command prompt. Command prompt
image information includes image name, image path, the number of
definitions, and the number of instances of the image attached to the drawing.
