To Create a Search Path for Raster Images

When you insert an image with the Insert An Image command, AutoCAD Map 3D stores the location of the image in the drawing file. When you open a drawing, AutoCAD Map 3D searches this stored location for the file. If the image has been moved or deleted, AutoCAD Map 3D searches the Project Files Search Path.

To create a search path

  1. Click Options.
  2. On the Files tab, select Project Files Search Path. Click Add.

    A folder named Projectx (where x indicates the next available number) appears under Project Files Search Path.

  3. Enter a name for the project.

    The project name cannot contain leading spaces or terminating spaces.

  4. Click Apply.
  5. With the project name selected, click Set Current.
  6. Click Add.

    A path entry is created under the project name.

  7. Enter the search path or click Browse to select a directory.
  8. Click OK.
