Change File Paths of Raster Images
With the External References palette, you can change the file path to a
referenced raster image file or search for a referenced image when it is reported
as not found.
When you open a drawing with an attached image, the path of the selected
image is displayed in the External References palette in the Details Pane under
Found At. The path displayed is the actual path where the image file was
found. The path where the image file was originally attached is displayed
under Saved Path.
To locate the image file, the program searches the following paths and folders
in the following order:
■ Path specified when the image was attached
■ Folder containing the current drawing file
■ Project search paths specified on the Files tab of the Options dialog box
■ Support search paths specified on the Files tab of the Options dialog box
■ Start In folder specified in the program shortcut
If you open a drawing that contains an image that is not in the saved path
location or in any of the defined search paths, the External References palette
displays Not Found in the image list, and the Found At properties is blank.
You can remove the path from the file name or specify a relative path by
editing the path in the Found At properties and then clicking OK in the Select
Image File dialog box.
For more information about using full paths, relative paths, and project names,
see
Set Paths to Referenced Drawings on page 1181.
To change the image path
1 Click Insert tab ➤ Reference ➤
.
2 In the External References palette, select an image whose path you want
to change.
3 In the Details Pane, click the Browse button for Found At.
4 In the Select Image File dialog box, browse to the new path. Click OK.
The new path is displayed in the Found At properties.
