image path not found

cootem
Images are lost when moving between computers / users.

When I insert an image the path is a full path, including my user. For example: /home/myUN/documents/pathToImage/Logo.png

When I open the drawing on a different computer the images are lost, even if they are stored in the same relative location, such as; /home/myOtherUN/documents/pathToImage/Logo.png

This is even further compounded by moving between Windows and Linux. Path on Windows computer: C:/Users/myWUN/documents/pathToImage/Logo.png

Is there a way to insert an image with a relative path or to edit the path after inserting?

Thanks,

Should be able to use text editor to open dxf file then search and replace filepath.

Locate the image in the same directory as the drawing file and it will be found.
Oh, such an old posting, just realized.
