- Glossary
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.
View Image File Details
In the lower area of the Reference Manager 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)
Assign Descriptive Names to Raster Images
When the name of a raster image file is not sufficient to identify an image,
you can add a descriptive name using the Reference Manager palette.
Image names are not necessarily the same as image file names. When you
attach an image to a drawing, the program uses the file name without the file
extension as the image name. Image names are stored in a symbol table; thus
you can change the image name without affecting the name of the file. Up
to 255 characters are accepted for image file names. In addition to letters and
numbers, names can have spaces and any special characters not used by the
operating system or AutoCAD LT for other purposes.
If you attach and place images with the same name but from two different
directories, numbers are appended to the image names.
