images in layout

[WendyWelton]

I link to both plans files and image files in other folders all the time and have not had problems in X1.4. I use a Chief layout file to do my brochures and other marketing materials and don't want to clog up my data drive with multiple copies of large image files.

For image files it always gives me a message saying it can't find it, I hit "cancel" and it always displays the image anyway. It did this in Chief 10 also.

I guess this way of file management will work for some. I don't really think it's the best. I like to do things in a very safe way with no errors if possible. I guess you know why you're getting that error Wendy. If you have several people looking at the plan and layout from different areas and computers (not networked), then you will probably have linking problems with the layout by not keeping everything in one main folder. Just a comment.
