You can improve performance by unloading images when you do not need them in the current drawing session. Unloaded images are not displayed or plotted; only the image boundary is displayed. Unloading an image does not alter its link. If memory is not sufficient to open multiple attached images in a drawing, images are automatically unloaded.

In the External References palette, you can use Reload to reload an unloaded image or to update a loaded image by reloading the image from the specified directory path. If a drawing is closed after an image is unloaded, the image file is not loaded when the drawing is next opened; you must reload it.
