Hi
I hope you're well.
I have an issue with AutoCAD 2015, can you please assist?
I have 2 ECW images: image1 is 1.86GB and image2 is 164MB, and they are in an Xref (Raster Image).
When I open the Xref I can see the two images as I set them up, but when I overlay the Xref on my sketch, it's only showing the bigger image - the other one is not visible
.Do you know how I can fix it?
Thank you!

i just want to remind that there is two type of xref attachments ( attachments and overlay ) . i'm guessing that you have overlay behavior that may fixed by changing the type. please read more here . >> Click <<

@Anonymous hello, you don't need to xref your images. here is another way of doing it, please my screncast below. thanks
Hi @Anonymous,
I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!
The drawing where you have these two image files attached, how have you brought them in? Are they on the same layer? How are the paths (relative, no path, Full path) set up?
I would go back to this file and place both images on the same layer and verify that both paths match.
