    Default How to stop PDF underlay from changing

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi all,

    I have a PDF underlay that is giving me some issues. I locked the layer and moved the pdf underlay's x-position to -1 and sent the drawing to the back to make sure it stays underneath all my lines, but annoyingly, everytime I draw something, it ends up *under* the PDF and I have to zoom out very far and selected the pdf to "send to back" again. Quite frustrating. Any other way to keep this from happening?

    Thanks in advance,
    AC

    Look at post #5 in your last thread, referencing Drawing Order Control system variable options.
    I think one of the available settings might work for this, probably setting to 3.
    Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.
