I'm sorry, but no, this is not working either. It keeps saying me that the
two images are not loaded, while one of them is "Loaded", although it finds
the file at another location, as you can see in the new screen shot.
The ideea behind this is that we have clients that do not want us to change
the paths for their Xrefs and Images. But in order to be able to work on
those drawing and see the attachments, we copy the external references in
another folder, which we declare under a PROJECT_NAME name in Project Files
Search Path. If we set the PROJECT_NAME as "Set current" and reload the
Xrefs and/or the Images, they become "Loaded" from the new location. This
program is running by it self on each and every drawing we are opening.
Between other things, it checks if there are Xrefs and/or Images with broken
links. Now, for the Xrefs, I have the tools to see that the Xrefs has been
loaded from another location, but for the images I don't. So each and every
time I open a drawing that has the images loaded from another location, I am
not able to see if the images are loaded or not. And this is where your
function should help.
As for the drawing, there is nothing wrong or special with it and there is
useless to post it. Take any new drawing, insert an image, save and close
the drawing, go and move the image file at aonther location, then open the
drawing. The image will be declared as "Not found" in Image Manger. Click on
"Browse..." in the lower right corner of Image Manger and select the
alternative location, and exit Image Manager WHTHOUT pressing the "Save
Path" button, because we don't want to change the path. At this point, the
image is "Loaded" and visible on screen, even if the path information (assoc
1) is still the original one (remember, that is what the client wants). So I
assume that is AutoCAD is able to see that the image is loaded, there shoul
be some way to get through this. BTW, there is something wrong about the DXF
code 280, as you can see it in the detail from the lower right corner of my
screen shot. I mean, as you can see in the Image Manager, even if one image
is "Loaded" and the other one is "Not found", the flag associated with code
DXF 280 is set to 1 in both cases !!! Thanks for your time,
Constantin 🙂
