Photo overlay in idw

Anonymous

Hello

The company has recently migrated to Inventor Pro 2020 which has seen some changes. Regularly I use photos in drawings that overlay a model view so balloons, text and dimensions can be shown and stay attached. When a PDF is created using 2020, the model appears as lines through the phot which didn't happen in the previous program version.

I can bring the photo forward but that hides all the attached leaders and notes which need to be shown in the drawing. Is there a new setting I'm yet to discover that allows the model view to be obscured by the image as was the case?

Hi! The behavior does not look right to me. Please make sure all applicable updates to 2020 have been installed (2020.3 update followed by 2020.3.4). If possible, please share the example files here or send them (zipped) to me directly [email protected]. I would like to understand the behavior better.

Many thanks!

Thanks John. I managed a work around by adding a non printing layer for the model views. I'll close this forum now.
