I think I'm going about this the wrong way. 

I want to rename the RasterImage Files to Match the Drawing Naming Convention Plus a Suffix. 

In this case _A, _B, _C etc.

And update that in the Drawing. 

 Public Shared Sub RenameRasterImagesAndReattachToDrawing(ByVal FilePath As String)
        Dim sNewName As String = ""
        Dim iImg As Integer = 0
        Dim Suffix As String = "A"
        Dim myDwgIO As New IO.FileInfo(FilePath) 'Get FileName from Full FilePath

        '<<<1. Locate Raster Images

        Dim myDoc As Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument


        'Start(Transaction)
        Using myTrans As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Transaction = myDoc.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction

You are further along with raster images than I have gotten.  I would try to detach the old and attach the new if renaming does not work.

[#3]

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. 

[#4]

I'm trying to do that at the moment: find and detach all images in the drawing. Seems to be trickier than it sounds, or I am half asleep... Dale

[#5]

Yah it is tricky,
Haven't figured it out yet...
But let me know if you have any luck... Or if I get around to it again I'll post my code.

[#6]

Glad to know I'm not alone. I'd post some sample code but I've gone down so many rabbit holes it's shameful. I'll keep note of this page and post a solution when I get it resolved. Simply I want to detach all images in a drawing; trivial in Lisp. Regards, Dale

[#7]

Following code deletes all raster images in a drawing. It seems to work well, but I'm open to improvements or comment. Regards, Dale
