Proctor Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hello: I would like to find a way to retain images in a palette so that I can use them in my drawings. e.g. if you look at my pic below, you will see that i loaded up the jpeg CL5.jpg into the external reference palette. this then allows me to select it and then drag it into the drawing. The problem is that when i close cad and reopen a new drawing, i have to reload the image into the palette. Is there a way to retain the images in the palette for use at any time? if not, perhaps there's another palette available to accomplish this same objective? I'm currently working in 09; however, I will also need to do something similar in 07. thank you, Proctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The image should not unload. I insert images into drawings all the time and are only unloaded when I choose for them to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proctor Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 if i open the existing drawing then i do still see my images; however, if i open a new drawing, those images are not in the palette anymore. i need the images to be available for this situation as well. thanks, proctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 So, if you insert an image into a drawing, save and close. The next time you open the drawing, the image will be unloaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proctor Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hello... I open cad, load an image into the external reference palette and close cad w/ out saving the drawing; after, I reopen cad and my image is no longer in the external reference palette anymore. If I do load an image into the external reference palette and the save the drawing; then, close cad and reopen the drawing, i still see my image in the external reference palette. I was hoping there was a way to save my images in the external reference palette w/ out saving and re-opening a drawing. I would like to reopen cad to a new drawing and have my image available in the palette so i can just select it and not reload it. Perhaps it just doesn't work this way....but I wasn't sure so I wanted to ask and see if anyone knew for sure. Thanks again....
