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 Reference Manager 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
Support search paths specified on the Application tab in the Application
Preferences dialog box
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 Reference Manager 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 Open in the
Open dialog box.
For more information about using full paths, relative paths, and project names,
see
Set Paths to Referenced Drawings (page 459).
Tune Raster Image Performance
You can reduce the demands on system performance when manipulating large
or many small raster images.
