Table Of Contents
Paths
Use the Paths tab to set the directory for resource files. Resource files store
information about an image insertion point, scale, rotation, and density.
Resource files have the same base name as the raster image with an .res
extension.
Resource File Directory
Specify the directory where AutoCAD Map 3D searches for resource files.
Click
to locate a directory. This directory applies only to resource (.res)
files and not to other correlation sources.
When you insert an image, AutoCAD Map 3D looks for a resource file
associated with the image in the Resource File Directory path. If it locates
a resource file, you can select it as the source of correlation information. If
you leave the resource file path blank, AutoCAD Map 3D searches the
directory or directories the images were inserted from.
Use Resource File Directory Before Using Image Directory
Informs AutoCAD Map 3D to search for resource files in the resource file
directory before searching the image path stored in the drawing.
General
Use the General tab to set how frames are displayed, the display quality of
images, image detach options, and the Shift + left-click setting.
Display Preferences
Image Frame list
Specify how AutoCAD Map 3D displays the image frames in your drawing.
Hide the frames by selecting Frames Off, display frames in front of the
images by selecting Frame Drawn Above Image, or display frames behind
the images by selecting Frame Drawn Below Image.
Display Quality High
Dither the pixels onscreen so that the changes between shades and colors
are more gradual. This setting is recommended for color and grayscale
images.
Display Quality Draft option
Do not dither the pixels. This setting is recommended for bitonal images.
