Use this tab to set the correlation search paths and to select an AutoPaste option for inserting images from AutoCAD Raster Design toolset GSX or AutoCAD Raster Design toolset ESP.
Correlation Search Paths
- Read Path
-
Specifies the default directory to search for a resource file or world file for an inserted image. This directory can be on a local or network drive, or at an Internet location. Click Browse
Local to open the
Choose a Resource File Directory Dialog Box, where you can navigate to and select a directory.
- Write Path
-
Specifies the default directory in which to save or export resource files and world files. The possibilities for the location and the means of setting it are the same as for Read Path.
- Use Correlation Search Path Before Using Image Directory
-
Instructs AutoCAD Raster Design toolset to search for resource files using the read path for correlation before searching the image path stored in the drawing.
- Search For Correlation Files On The Internet
-
Instructs AutoCAD Raster Design toolset to search the Internet for associated correlation files.
AutoPaste (ESP and GSX Compatibility)
Use these options only if you are upgrading to AutoCAD Raster Design toolset from CAD Overlay ESP or GSX.
- AutoInsert
-
Instructs AutoCAD Raster Design toolset to automatically insert images into a drawing that you created with ESP or GSX. For more information, see Inserting Images From GSX or ESP.
- AutoReplace
-
Instructs AutoCAD Raster Design toolset to search for an image sharing the same base name as the drawing. If found, this new image is inserted using the same insertion point, scale and rotation as the original reference. AutoCAD Raster Design toolset automatically updates the saved image path.
For instance, in order to create a new version of a drawing-image hybrid pair (example.dwg and example.tif), both the drawing and the corresponding image may be renamed so they share new base names (example1.dwg and example1.tif). When the new drawing is opened, the image cannot be found because the drawing still references the old image (example.tif). If AutoReplace is enabled, the new image (example1.tif) is found and replaces the old image in the drawing.
- Prompt Before AutoInsert
-
Instructs AutoCAD Raster Design toolset to prompt you when it locates the image, before insertion.
- Extension List
-
Lists the extensions AutoCAD Raster Design toolset searches for when it searches for the image. AutoCAD Raster Design toolset searches for images in the order that they appear in this list.
- < Add
-
Adds your image type choice to the Extensions List.
