Hello. I have inserted a jpeg (an aerial view) into modelspace. Then open it in a paperspace drawing and bring it to scale. I'm trying to draw leaders/arrows to the parking spaces on the image but the leader will not be visible when I draw over the image. I have tried display order and move to front, etc. and no luck. Does anyone know how I can draw over the image? Thank you.

hi, insert/link your jpeg files in model space. try to draw arrow, text, etc on the paperspace itself. thanks

Hi...sorry I didn't make that clear but that's what I was trying to do...in Paperspace. I remember this happening before when I inserted a vicinity map and all I want to do is draw an arrow to the site. Frustrating!

Select the image, right click, select Draw Order then send to back.

Thanks but no luck...its the viewport in paperspace that I am selecting (image is in modelspace), and the "send to back" does not affect it. Any other options?

I think I have the issue, but don't have it solved. The image that is not letting me draw over it in paperspace is a raster image. The other images are pdf underlays and those allow me to draw over them. Now what....

>>>...ts the viewport in paperspace ...(image is in modelspace),...<<<
DRAWORDER does not work on viewports. Any reason you cannot draw over it in modelspace? I do this on occasion so explain the challenge you face beyond "draworder" as that is only part of the task.

Hi,

look to the pagesetup or plot dialog for this layout and verify the checkbox "Plot Paperspace last"

At least for plotting you can control if modelspaces/viewports are plotted before or after paperspace-content.

Dean: thanks...yes I can draw over it in modelspace and may have to do that, though it adds some complexities with text scale and viewport clipping the text.

Alfred, thanks...I've never tried that. I'll do a test plot. One thing though that makes it complicated is that I cannot see the linework or text on top of the image before it gets plotted. Maybe a trial and error.

I suppose I can reinsert the raster image as a pdf underlay and that will solve the problem...some time involved there unfortunately with scaling and rotation, etc.

Perhaps try this?
1) Insert the image in a blank drawing.
2) Insert this blank drawing (as a block) into the destination file (drag-and-drop OK).
3) BEDIT the block and select the "Scale Uniformly" in the properties palette, if needed.
(fading will have to be executed inside the source file)

I have encountered similar issues. usually what i do is i set the transparency of the image to be fairly transparent and then use a high contrasting color to draw with. Its not ideal, but i don't always have the issue. Most of the time changing the drawing order works for me.

Thank you very much M_Hensley, it was really helpful.

Best regards, JP.
