      Just out of interest - has anyone got the Component Attributes>Form Design - parameter ImageURL to work?

      Not sure if this is to display a web page link or whether it can be used to display a photo (ie image).
      I added a reference to a jpeg from a sub folder and finally from local disk C:\seat.jpg to no avail.
      No image in the Component Options dialog. I even checked if the Components palette displayed the image.
      I also checked the file suffix .jpg

      Even tried out of desperation a link to http://www.google.com Nothing happened.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks

        I think it needs a web address that points to a photo, try this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3290/3030824198_7cd0dac323_t.jpg

        To get your own images up, youll need to upload them to a photo sharing site like imageshack. Im not sure what size its emant to be, but im guessing pretty small (75x75 ?)

          Thanks Remus

          I finally figured it out. Instead of using back slash \ - use forward slash / in the path name.
          ie C:/seat.jpg I assume the forward slash option covers Mac pathnames.

          The image gets scaled to fit the Component Options - image slot 130 x 85 pixels
          So you just need to get the image ratio correct.

          For Google Sketchup guys
          It would be nice if there was a way of clicking on the Component Options - image which could take you to a manufacturers web site. Perhaps a new parameter Form Design > URL

          Although, it looks like (from the docs) an URL can be embedded in the description/summary fields with
          <a href="http://www.google.com">

            I wanted to know one thing, can I define my onClick openURL function in DC? Can I define my own functions in DC? if so where do I do it? I don't know whether image URL does the same thing. Can somebody clarify it?
            Something like userdefined function.

            Thanks,
            Dhruv

                Yeah, that's the current path: add a link inside your description tag. In general, we didn't want to allow links on anything that doesn't look like a link, which is why the image isn't linkable. That being said, I've added your request to our feature list for discussion.

                A sidenote: since we pull the imageURL's image from your webserver, one could use this get a rough approximation of how many people are downloading your DCs from the 3dwarehouse and configuring them by watching your traffic logs. πŸ˜„

                Cheers,
