Tim,

I caught my mistake. I'm a little embarrass to tell you.
I was repathing to a non existing location. As soon as
I created the desired location & copied the images it
worked.

Thank you for your time & tip for error handling. Keep
up the good work!

Probably the main reason I like this forum so much!

I know this is an OLD topic. I was messing around with the idea. Its a neat concept. However, with my awesome skill level. I keep getting an error. I am sure.... wait... I know I did something to make it not work.

Code: [Select]

(PutImagePath "c:\\temp\\test.dwg" "..\\Image\\")

Code: [Select]

Command: (PutImagePath "c:\\temp\\test.dwg" "..\\Image\\")
 Error-> Automation Error. File access error
thanks for any ideas!

In my testing, it looks like a valid image has to be in the new location.

Command: (putimagepath "c:/test/images/image.dwg" "../images/")
Command: (putimagepath "c:/test/image.dwg" "../images/")
 Error-> Automation Error. File access error
Command: (putimagepath "c:/test/image.dwg" "../images")
 Error-> Automation Error. File access error
Command: (putimagepath "c:/test/image.dwg" "/images/")
Command: (putimagepath "c:/test/image.dwg" "./images/")
Command: (putimagepath "c:/test/image.dwg" "../images/")
 Error-> Automation Error. File access error
Command: (putimagepath "c:/test/dwg/image.dwg" "../images/")

My testing setup looked like
c:/test/
 |- dwg/
      |- image.dwg
 |- images/
      |- image.png
      |- image.dwg

Just curious here, so there is not a way that it can copy the source "image" from where ever and place it in the new folder image and repath?

[T.Willey]

A routine could be written, but as this one stands. No.  It only repaths images, and within the new path there has to be a valid file (at least that is what I get from my quick testing).

Interesting... Thank you for sharing. Looks like I will "lol" looking for something that may do this. Thank you for the suggestion.

Its amazing... I know how people work on projects and attach images from other projects or what not; but to have it copy the images attached in a dwg to a \images\ folder makes sense.
