copy and paste jpg in dwg

I have autocad lt 2009, previosly when I wanted to trace a drawing I would go to paint, copy the drawing and then paste it in autocad on one layer and do the drawing on another layer worked great, But now when I do the same process it doesnt work.....previously I could draw on the image, could edit the lines, copy, erase, move etc. But now when  do this if I have to copy a line I select copy and when I click on the line I want to copy the jpg drawing goes away, or if I try to erase a line the drawing will get deleted, Do I need to uninstall autocad and reinstall? Like I said it worked out fine before but now it is messed up. Sorry this is so long but didnt know of a shorter way. Thanks

do you just need to set the correct DRAWORDER position for the image?

and turn off it's frame so tgat you stop selecting it too.

I am not sure about the draworder command, I tried that but it didnt work or at least I couldnt get it to work, and how do I turn off the frame? Thanks for responding, this is really slowing my work down.

Hello,

 

To set draw order, select the image and type in DRAWORDER then hit the ENTER key, it comes up with 4 options select the one that gives the desired effect. (Above, Behind, Front, Back)

 

To set the frame, type in FRAME then hit the ENTER key, enter erther 0, 1, 2, or 3

 

0 The frame is not visible and it is not plotted.The frame temporarily reappears during selection preview or object selection.

1 Displays and plots the frame.

2 Displays but does not plot the frame.

3 The individual setting varies for all objects with frames in

 

All this info was found in the help menu
