Inserting an image with its path?

[Nyius]

Hey all!

is it possible to insert an image with its path, advoiding the popup you get when using the standard ImageAttach method?

IE the command could be something like 'ImageAttach(\project\images\image1jpg)

Thanks!

Hi,

start command _-IMAGE, then no popup will appear.

thanks for the reply, it seems to be on the right path!

when I use _-IMAGE it then gives me a set of commands (?/Detach/Path/Reload/Unload/Attach)
when i use Attach, it opens the Popup as if I had used the normal ImageAttach

is there a way to just enter the image path after ive used _-Image?

Hi,

then run command _-ATTACH if you like that more.

Without an insertion point, a scaling, a rotation input AutoCAD will know what file you want to attach, but would not know where it should be positioned, how big it should be, and how it should be rotated.

[as long as it's not georeferenced, but in that case you would need Map3D and command _MAPIINSERT)

Thanks! that worked perfectly. I have a spreadsheet with image location, coordinates, scale, and rotation so i just copy it all into autocad and it works perfectly!

spreadsheet looks like:

._MULTIPLE
_-attach
\project\image\image1.jpg
655525.675897637,4855444.5845545 (lat+long)
1 (scale)
0(rotation)
\project\image\image2.jpg
etc,
etc.

I just copy that into the autocad command and it work perfectly now, thanks!
