Select Remote Raster Image to Attach dialog box

Used to attach raster image files across the Internet. Lets you download an image from the named URL and display the downloaded image. This differs from attaching an internet image via Model Server Imager (MSI), where the entire image is not downloaded. In these cases the minimum subset of the image, necessary for display or printing, is sent dynamically to the MSI client, which is contained inside Raster Manager.

URL

Field to enter the required URL. Arrow button to the right of the field opens the history menu, which displays other URL's that were accessed. From this list, you can choose another URL, if available.

Type of Local Storage

Sets how the downloaded file is stored.

Store Read Only

If on, stores downloaded files as read-only. This is a useful reminder that the remote file is not being changed, and local modifications could lead to confusion.

Append ?fmt=raw

If on, appends the string “?fmt=raw” to the end of any URL that is submitted for download. This is necessary if the selected site is running Bentley Publisher, because such sites default to sending a JPEG image rather than the raw design file.

?fmt=raw only works if the web administrator has enabled this feature in Bentley Publisher.

Specify local copy

If on, the File field below is activated, letting you specify a location and filename where the URL should be downloaded, rather than the default location.

OK

Attaches the remote raster image as specified in the dialog box.

Cancel

Ignores the selected settings and closes the dialog box.
