To Insert GSX or ESP Images into Your Drawing

  1. On the ribbon, click Raster Tools tab Insert & Write panel Dialog box launcher ().

    The Raster Design Options dialog box is displayed.

  2. Click the Paths tab.
  3. Under AutoPaste, select AutoInsert.
    Note: If you try to open a drawing that you created in GSX or ESP but you do not enable AutoPaste, then your drawing loads but your images are not displayed. To manually insert them, from the ribbon, click Raster Tools tab Insert & Write panel Insert.
  4. Select Prompt before AutoInsert if you want AutoCAD Raster Design toolset to prompt you to insert the image it locates. Clear this check box if you want to insert the image automatically without prompting.
  5. Specify which file types you want AutoCAD Raster Design toolset to search for by choosing a file extension from the list, then add it to the Extension List. AutoCAD Raster Design toolset searches for the image types in the order they appear in this list. After it locates an image of the type specified, it stops searching.
  6. Click OK to accept your changes and exit the dialog box.
    Note: AutoCAD Raster Design toolset does not perform an AutoPaste if there are image references already saved in the drawing (for example, if it is a drawing containing images you saved using version 7.5 or above of AutoCAD Raster Design toolset).
