I'm using 2008 LT and have also come across this issue. I have had a 'bolt on' (slingshot) added to my LT to bring it up to somewhere near full version although it can leave a lot to be desired. However, this bolt on does allow images to be detached in the same fashion as 2008 full. If you are still having problems I suggest you do a search for this software.

If anyone has found another way of detaching images from AutoCAD LT I would love to know as other users in my office have the same issue and don't have the software.]]> Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:22:44 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1073&PID=3408&title=help-w-removing-images#3408 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1073&PID=2922&title=help-w-removing-images#2922 Author: nmilsaps

Maybe it's because I have LT?  Is anyone else using that?]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:42:19 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1073&PID=2922&title=help-w-removing-images#2922 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1073&PID=2921&title=help-w-removing-images#2921 Author: nmilsaps

If you click on "unload", it will just remove the image on the dwg BUT it will leave the image frame and the reference.  So I erase the actual image in the dwg file.  Then it says Unreferenced.  I can't purge it anymore than it already is.  Here is a screenshot of that.

OK, OK...  Started over with a new dwg.  purged everything just incase.  Inserted my image block, then directed it to locate an image"dog.jpg" on my desktop.  Here is a screenshot.  Notice there is not a detach button.

First find which xref the image was originally in. Detach it from that xref, purge, save and reload and it should be gone.

I find that often drawings from consultants or title blocks have logos or other images attached, but not found. ]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:19:20 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1073&PID=2908&title=help-w-removing-images#2908 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1073&PID=2904&title=help-w-removing-images#2904 Author: nmilsaps

unload it from the xref, not the dwg it references, that should take it out]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:59:05 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1073&PID=2903&title=help-w-removing-images#2903 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1073&PID=2887&title=help-w-removing-images#2887 Author: nmilsaps

I know what you are talking about, but I just don't see it in my dialog box.  Maybe because it's LT...   here is what I see.  (REMOVED THE IMAGE, BETTER EXAMPLE BELOW)

Im trying to recreate your problem.  Use detach rather than unload.  Also delete any references in block editor if any remain.

I hope this helps, im out of ideas

Thanks for the quick reply...
That's where I'm looking.  but there isn't anyway to "delete" it.  If you right click, you can choose unload or reload.  But unload doesn't do anything.  I've already deleted the image block in the cad drawing, but it still shows up in that dialog box.
I'm trying to clean up a drawing before I send it out of the office, so not to confuse anyone thinking that something is missing.
