tblsearch image

How do you identify an image is attached but unreferenced within a dwg? There is no table to tblsearch...

[Anonymous]

Images are stored within the dictionary 'ACAD_IMAGE_DICT'. I haven't seen a
reliable way yet.

Thanks for responding T.Willey

Sorry, this is a new concept so I'm a little dense. Images have been very rare and I've never heard of a dictionary before.
Could you give me a little more explanation, please.

One way....

Select all the images in the drawing using (ssget)

Walk this selection set, grabbing the the 340 entity from each image.

Compare each 340 ename with the list of enames gathered from the
"ACAD_IMAGE_DICT" dictionary (group 350)

At that point, enames in the dictionary but not in your selection set
must not be in the drawing, but they are still "attached" to the drawing.

Using dxf codes.

(setq Pos
(vl-position
'(3 . "ACAD_IMAGE_DICT")
(setq DictList (entget (namedobjdict)))
)
)
(setq ImgDictList (entget (cdr (nth (1+ Pos) DictList))))

Every entry numbered '3' in the 'ImgDictList' is the name of an image
associated with the drawing. The '350' entity name following it has the
properties of the image.

Beyond that I'm not much help. I don't use dictionaries really, so my help
is limited to this. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in.

Thanks much T.Willy! Looks to fill the need good.

R.K. McSwain there is no images to ssget. Images are attached but unreferenced. I needed a way to find out if an image was attached before I started. (See my post called 'Image question' from last week for more.

Thank you for the help.

Well then it's even more simple. Just check for enames in the
"ACAD_IMAGE_DICT" dictionary.
