    Default Tough Question - Raster Images

    AutoCAD 2008

    1.) Raster Image Draw Order Problem

    a. insert raster image into a autocad dwg
    b. trace over that image with autocad lines, text, etc.
    c. save the drawing
    d. re-open the drawing

    When the drawing is re-opened, the raster image automatically moves to the top of the drawing order, covering all my autocad linework. Then you have to regen the drawing in order to fix the problem. I have messed around with the DRAWORDER command as well as setting the image to transparent, but no success.
    Does anyone know how to make the raster image always stay in the back?

    I thank everyone for taking the time to read my questions, and putting the effort to possibly answering them.

    One thing that will always work (AFAIK) is to move the image in the -z direction after you've created the acad objects.

    Or you could place the image in Model space, and your linework trace in paperspace.

    You should just be able to select the image frame of the raster image, right-click and select draw order, then choose "send to back". I've never had it pop back up on me that way.
    I drink coffee for your protection.
