Draworder & JPG's |
|
|
Using ACAD 2000. I've inserted a number of JPG's into a drawing and created drawing and text which needs to appear over the JPG's. I turn IMAGEFRAME on, use DRAWORDER to send the JPG to the back, turn IMAGEFRAME off and save the drawing.
Problem: If I cause a REGEN or close and reopen the drawing, often the JPG moves back to the front, obscuring the overlaid drawing objects. Is there a way to lock the JPG into the background?

What version of AutoCAD?
Not sure it works with image files, but DRAWORDER can also bring everything
else to the top: try it too.

| I've tried that too. Problem is that they won't stay where I put them. |

Forget DRAWORDER and grab the lisp code in the following message:

What happens if you create a NEW entity on top of your IMAGE, save the
drawing, then reopen the drawing? Does the newly created entity go
behind the IMAGE? |

| New drawing will stay on top of the JPG until there is a REGEN or a close and reopen the dwg then there's a good chance that the JPG will wind up on top |

| Thanks R.K. FLOAT.LSP seems to work. The JPG seems to be staying in the background now. |

DrawOrder was a little squirly until R2004. The lisp R.K. mentions works, as
does the ExpressTool DrawOderbyColor with the Handles option. Note that this
breaks hatch associativity. Personally, I found a working DrawOrder to be
worth the upgrade to R2004. It may be worth getting the 30 day demo of R2005
and seeing what else it does for you. You may find it worth the upgrade. The
automatic hatch behind boundary, and no snapping to hatches, are pretty high
on my list too.
Best,
Gordon |
