10.02 Changing the Image File Path

 

Sometimes, after initially creating a project and adding Images to the cover sheet, the location where the images are stored will change. The folder may be renamed or it may be moved to a network location or from a CD to a local drive.

 

When an Image File is displayed in red text on the Cover Sheet, that means that it is no longer in the place where On-Screen Takeoff is linked and cannot be displayed on the Image Tab.

 

 

In order to re-link images to a new location or folder, follow these steps:

 

  1. Open the Cover Sheet, Pages tab.

  2. Select the image that needs to be re-linked by clicking it once. Multiple images may be selected by holding down the CTRL key on the keyboard and clicking the desired images or select a range of images by clicking the first one, holding down the SHIFT key and clicking on the last image. (To change multiple pages, all of the image files must be located in the same folder. This process may be repeated multiple times).

  3. After highlighting all the images to change click the Change Folder icon, .

  4. In the Change Folder dialog, choose the Path field (either Image or Overlay) using the drop down arrow.

  5. The Change field will be populated with the folder path for the selected images from the Cover Sheet.  This field can also be updated manually.

  6. In the To field manually type in the new path, or use the Lookup tool, , to browse for the file path.

  7. Click to change the path for each row selected on the Pages tab. This will process the change and close the dialog box.  Clicking will close the dialog box without processing the change.
