Render Background '07

Hi guys,

Using ACAD 2007 is a new experiencce. Which function or button rather allows you to select a bitmap or jpeg image for the background of your render on acad 2007? been trying but dont seem to see that facility.

Thanks guys

if i remember correctly you can only have a background in a named view, set up a named view and then in the properties of the named view you can set the background image,

Yedan is correct.

- Enter the VIEW command. Note the View Manager dialog box.

- Click the New button. Note the New View dialog box.

- Enter a name for the view, such as "my background."

- Click Override Default Background. Note the Background dialog box.

- To set the color click on the red-colored rectangle under the word Color in the Background dialog box.

- Once you've selected your color click Set Current, then click Apply. Finally, click OK to exit the View Manager dialog box.

Backgrounds can be a solid color, a gradient color or even a raster image (JPEG, TIFF, Targa, GIF, PCX, bitmap or PNG file format). The image can be sized to fit the viewport.

Thanks Remark. Been struggling with the backround for a few weeks. Got it now.

You're welcomed melox. I was surprised to see a two year old thread get a bump.
