I like Tim's demo of importing a PDF and scaling it for dimensions. http://www.csi-concepts..../Demo/videos/Tracing.mp4

Today I imported a jpeg, successfully scaled it as in tracing demo above. However I had to move the scaling reference lines below the jpeg because the jpeg covered the lines. (However this did not happen in Tim's demo.) Anyway I got pass the scaling process.

Now when I want to draw line, boxes, etc on top of the jpeg, they immediately fall behind the jpeg and get covered by jpeg so I can't see what I've drawn.

I've changed the layers, moving the jpeg from top to bottom. I've done ARRANGE and move jpeg to SEND TO BACK.

This is driving me crazy. Anyone know how to send this jpeg to the back so I can draw on top and see what I'm drawing?

Thanks

I started another drawing from scratch and the problem is gone. Problem fixed.

Something else I've used to make it easier to work with objects on the image is to make the image transparent. (right click on image for popup).
