ksperopoulos Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Why is it that when I try to modify an image (PNG file) for one of my ribbon buttons, it will not take effect until I change the actual name of the PNG file? If I modify the PNG file, save it with the same name, and then verify if it updates in AutoCad, I find it does not update. Is there a way to clear the old image from memory?

ksperopoulos Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Does anyone have any ideas for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimcruz Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Maybe it loads the image from resource file. That's my guess. I have this issue and my solution was to Edit->Import the new file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Update the picture from inside AutoCAD, not outside of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksperopoulos Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's a PNG file and not a BMP. You can't import a PNG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Make it a BMP then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksperopoulos Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 FYI - I just got an answer back from Autodesk about my issue. It seems that the PNG files are stored inside the CUIX files and the CUIX files can be opened from any ZIP program. If you want to update any of the PNG files, all you have to do is open the CUIX from a ZIP program and drag and drop the updated PNG files into the ZIP program's dialog window. I hope this helps anyone who likes to use PNG files instead of BMP files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
