Adjust placement of bitmap texture ?

In the render setup, I applied a bitmap image as a texture.
I can also adjust the scale for the quantity of circles that would show in the image.
Is there a render setting to adjust the location, vertical & horizontal ?
Trying to get one circle centered in frame.

Try posting it over on the GoogleGroups Dbug forum - there's been a very lively discussion regarding O2C and you may get your answer there. Here's a link for it:

I don't do my textures & rendering in Datacad typically, sorry
Have you tried the View Menu, Rendering, Texture Origin?

Thanks for the link MtnArch, I will have a look.
Thanks joshhuggins, I've looked at "Texture Origin".
Can only change Z settings, but seems to have no effect.

1. On the main Windows type menu bar, go to View, Rendering, Texture Origin.
2. Select the polygon in question with the "Set" option selected/highlighted. There are a number of options available for setting the texture origin. My favorite is 3d cursor which works well in a Parallel View (Elevation or Isometric).
3. Snap to a point on the polygon - in your case it will probably be the center of the polygon in question.
4. Exit out.
This function is only available from the main Windows type menus. Because it's a bit hard to find and get to, I created a custom button on my 3d toolbar to access this function.

I have attempted to add the pull down, but my dcadwin.mnu file looks nothing like that in the example... Perhaps I am looking at the wrong file for adding shortcuts?

the toolbars are .dtb files in the Support Files/Toolbars

AHHH - thanks!!! The User's Manual has a lot to be desired in several areas... never mentioned .dtb that I could find.

Very true. For me it's not an issue, but new users can really be lost. The manual should really have a major rewrite for the new users, but I personally want improvements to the program.
I have a friend who has been learning the program, and I have answered many questions that should be in the manual.
