Speaking of disappearing layers on PPC machines, I have noticed in tracing a site plan brought in from a tiff file that when "edit all layers" is tuned on, the bottom tiff layer covers all work above it. Well if you start to draw on a layer above for a while the other layers magically appear, but if I try to move a bit, everything is once again is obscureed by the bottom plan that I'm tracing.
Perhaps this is a well known flaw in PC-7.
Second is there a way to turn off the dimming of selected lines. It seems to slow simple operation like adding a radius fillet to a crawl. When I click on the first line, all other lines temporarly vanish as I wait for the program to respond and let me select the second line. 5 to 10 seconds can pass waiting for the drawing to reappear. Is this normal, or is this just the way of PC-7?

| When the object of the lower layer obscures the objects on the upper layers, is it because the object on the lower layer is selected? IF so, I get around this by locking the lower layer so that I can't select the object, then it stays behind whatever I am drawing on the upper layers. |

I wrote about that about a year ago in this caddpower.com article
as patrick noted, you likely have selected the bitmap which will cause that problem -in particular if Highlight selection is enabled as described in the above link |
