Hello,
We're using AutoCAD Map 2004. We have a topography plan which is basically colour bands. We want to put a 'transparent' image of a map over the top of it so that we can see the colour bands underneath, but also still see the details of the map. This is normally no problem with black and white (bitonal) images and "Image transparency".
This time, the map image we have been given is a multiple colur map. We have discovered how to make this transparent and how to 'pick' the colour in the map which will be transparent (i.e. white). This works, so that in Model, floating model and paperspace we can see the topography colour bands beneath our colour map.
However, when we come to print preview or print, the image loses its transparency settings and blocks out the topography colour bands completely.... can anyone help? I can't find any settings to print transparent background anywhere...
Thanks in advance.
Our pcs have 1Gb ram, Win2k, AutoCAD MAp 2004.
