I have bitmaps of client logos inserted into my default drawings and somehow the path has changed for all of them. I have the logo images saved like this: client\admin\logo

but now when I open a drawing file I get the "orphaned bitmap file" message because data cad is now looking for the logo here: client\project\

I can fix it by doing insert, orphaned references and redefining the path, but I'm having to do this for EVERY file I open now. Is there a way to change it back for all drawings?

Did something in the root of the path name change?

Jeanne,

It is easy to fix this. You can do it two different ways.

1) Go to the "Insert" pulldown menu -> select "Orphaned References" -> select the affected bitmaps -> select "Redefine Path" -> select folder bitmaps are located.
2) Double click the boundary of the missing bitmap -> select "Change" under Fill Settings -> select the folder icon -> select the file in the new folder.

I hope this helps.
