Is an Image a Import or a Link

Hello,

When I use the following I get nothing for every image in a model either the Imports and the Links.

Dim objExternalRef As ExternalFileReference = ExternalFileUtils.GetExternalFileReference(doc, objImageType.Id)

Any ideas on how to tell if a models image is a Import or a Link?

You need to check ImageTypeSource value
