Drawing over imported jpeg

[richard3009]

I have imported a jpeg image into Autocad 2008 LT, I wish to draw some black circles on top of (over it) it , I have tried this by drawing a circle which works fine, when I try to solid hatch the circle, this does not seem to work, ie the hatch does not show over the jpeg. any ideas.

correction sorry, it has nothing to do with the jpeg, turns out the hatch command is not showing in this particualr dwg. can the hatch display be turned on and off somewhere

Have you tried using the ._DONUT command? Specify an inner diameter of 0.0.

Check your draw order hatch may be behing image bring to front

I find that some times a solid hatch has a hard time with large or complex areas. Try using a different hatch at a large scale and then once the hatch pattern has been created, change it to the solid hatch.

Check your draw order hatch may be behind image bring to front.

 

Draw order does need to be in front. Works every time for me.

You can also turn off Layer 0. The jpeg should turn off also. Then try what everyone else is suggesting. When you are ready turn layer 0 on again and do the next operation.

 

Helps cut down on the confusion for me.
