Changing background on drawings using color or image

The last post I can find about this is 4 years old, so hopefully there has been some improvement.  

 

I am looking to have a more stylized background for my drawings.  I understand I can't change background color (just that alone would be great), so I've tried an image built into the title block that I've scaled to fit the background.  

 

The problem is that any image is always brought to the front and always covers up the views, no matter what I do.  

 

Here is a test image and the view shows fine while placing:

But the moment I confirm the placement and close the dialog box, it goes behind the image and only the outline of the view appears when I hover my mouse over it.

Is there any possible work around to get an image to show behind a view within a drawing.  Please?

 

And just for context, I have a couple thousand drawings of various parts and I want to update the drawings all with a background image (not of a beach of course), so a tedious work around that isn't easily repeatable isn't really feasible for my needs.

Hi @micahsa 

 

We are keeping an eye on asks for this. Every customer request that we get, from meetings, emails, forum posts etc. gets collected and categorised in our feature request database. This information is used to prioritise the features that we build next. I've added your request to our database.

 

As it stands, this is not a highly requested feature, but it is something that we have been talking considering internally. I've added 2 items to the public roadmap. The first is "sheet colour control" and the second is "watermark support".

 

If you're up for it, here is a link to my calendar, please book a Zoom session with me, I'd like to dive a bit deeper and fully understand your use case, I  can also give you a sneak peek at some of our upcoming features.
