path to linked bitmaps

WeathermanSweden · February 2010

Hello!
I usually link bitmaps into my CC3 files in the background layer.
Now I have moved the CC3 file around on my harddisk and maybe even the bitmaps location has been changed.
As a consequence the bitmap does not show up in the CC3 drawing any longer.
Is it possible to see the path to the bitmap that is saved in the CC3 file and can it be changed?
Thanx,
André

Humm i knew that this could be done, and actually Ralf explained it to me kindly, some time ago. But ... i forgot, and i wouldn´t mind to be reminded about it aswell

You should see the "red X" missing image symbol. Use the List command on it to see the path.

Unfortunately, you cannot change it.

Thanks Monsen for the input. Used the List command and among the data of the item, i couldn´t find the path.

i did the List command on a symbol and all what i found was:

|Symbol Reference: color 15 (white) layer 2 (VEGETATION)
| line style 0 (Solid) fill style 485 (Bosque caduco 2 Bitmap)
| line width 0.00000 tag # 16633 pen :0.000 mm 2nd color 15
| Name: CA28 Volcano
| Low extents: 0.00000,0.00000,0.00000
| High extents: 0.00000,0.00000,0.00000
| At: 699.18146,1385.11426,0.00000
| Scale: 22.63167,22.63167,0.00000
| Rotate XY: 0.00000°

And that´s all.

Opps i forgot, it also says Sheet: SYMBOLS. But that´s all.

Oh, that data means it is a symbol, not an inserted bitmap.

To get the path, open the symbol manager, and do a list on the symbol from there.

But, by the name, this is a symbol from the Cartographer's Annual Issue 28, so just by reinstalling this issue, you should be ok.

It´s a symbol i created based on a CA 28, so it´s not the Annual. But thanks Monsen, with the symbol manager it will be enough. Thanks again.
