Picture 14 object question

Where is the image file for the object Picture 14? I can't find it anywhere, unlike past versions, where I find (for AC11) Picture1_11.jpg in Macros 11>[UImg] Picture Maps 11>Picture1_11.jpg.

Thanks, Marc. I hadn't found those instructions yet, and they're better than what I had.

No, I'm just curious as to where the image file went....if it got moved, embedded in the object somehow (my knowledge of GDL is minimal, at best). Makes me nervous when things don't work as expected.

Yes, the default image is embedded within the library part itself and is not visible to the user. See David Maudlin's post in this thread:

Thanks, Karl! That clears up the mystery.
