[solved] Image file paths

Post by davecoventry » Mon Oct 11, 2021 6:37 am

I've imported a PNG image file to trace.

However, the file path has changed and the imported file is no longer accessible.

Where can I reset the file path so that the image file is visible?

Better yet, can the image file be embedded into the drawing?

Hi,
Bitmap files are only linked.
One can edit the path of an image entity by its specific property 'File' in the Property Editor.
One can filter on (empty/broken) image entities with the Selection Filter.

Regards,

Thanks.

Using the Filter I was able to find the image and assign it the new path.
