?—List Images

Lists the images by name in alphabetical order, the number of times each is attached
to the drawing, and the path where the image is stored. Images are listed in alphabetical
order, regardless of the setting of the MAXSORT system variable.

Detach

Detaches the named image from the drawing, marks it for deletion, and erases all occurrences
of the image.

Path

Updates the path name (including file name) associated with a particular image. This
option is useful if you change the location of an image file, rename the file, or
replace an old image file with a new file; for instance, you can update image01.png and save it as image02.png.

If you enter an asterisk (*), the following prompt is displayed:

Old path

Lists the current path name for each image.

New path

Specifies the new path name for the specified image.

Reload

Reloads the selected images, making that information available for display and plotting.

Unload

Removes image data from working memory so that the images are not displayed, thus
improving performance. All information associated with the image remains stored with
the drawing. The image frame of each attached image remains visible.

Attach

Attaches a new image or a copy of an attached image to the current drawing. The Select
Image File dialog box (a standard file selection dialog box) is displayed.

The file name without the extension is assigned as the image name. Image names can
include up to 255 characters and contain letters, digits, spaces, and any special
characters not used by the operating system or this program. If the file name is not
a valid name for a nongraphical object, the Substitute Image Name dialog box is displayed.
A valid image name is generated from the file name and an underscore and number are
appended to the name.

If a definition with the same name and path exists in the drawing, the following prompts
are displayed and the image is inserted as a copy:

Specify insertion point

Specifies where to attach the image.

Base image size

Specifies width and height.

Specify scale factor

Specifies a scale.

Specify rotation angle

Specifies the rotation of the image.

If the FILEDIA system variable is set to 0, the following prompt is displayed instead
of the dialog box:

Enter image file name to attach

This prompt appears if the FILEDIA system variable is set to 0. The last image name
attached to the drawing during the current session is the default. To avoid errors
when entering an image name, it is recommended that you specify both the image name
and the file name in one of the two following formats: imagename=path namelong file name.bmp or imagename=”path namelong file name.bmp”.If you enter a valid image name without a file extension, the program searches for
the file in this order: first, an existing image definition in the drawing, and second,
an image file in the folders in order of the search path. The program searches for
all the image files with the specified name, regardless of extension, and uses the
first name found. If no image name or image file is found, the message “Image Not
Foundâ€‌ is displayed and the prompt is repeated.To specify a long file name that does not conform to this program’s naming rules,
enter the name as follows: “imagename=filename“.

You can use a dialog box to search for image files but still enter the imagename=filename convention at the Command prompt. Enter a tilde (~) at the Enter Image File Name to Attach prompt. If you press Esc after the dialog
box opens, the Enter Image Name prompt is displayed.
