Layout View link to png question

Hi Pat,

Working with Windows TFP PRO V2022 version 22.0.0.1018.  After completing a drawing and saving to Layout View, I moved the pngs I saved to a different folder (using Windows Explorer) to better organize the various .pro files and .png image files together.  Went back the next day to the drawing and Layout Views and noticed the png images were not visible in Layout view the links to the images were not working. When I click on the layout "box", I can see links are there but I suspect they direct the program to look in the folder before I "re-organized" images. Any way to rebuild those links to the new folder I made or do I need to move all the images back to the original folder so the program can follow the links?

Hope this is clear enough.  I'm not real good with the computer terms.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, you can modify the links to your pictures. Try this:
Open your file => in Layout View, open the desired sheet => select the empty rectangle where you placed the picture => in the properties bar (right side of the screen), select the button "Set Image" (pointed with a red arrow in the image below) => set the new path for your picture => save your file.

Hope this helps.
