Question

example
how to convert line into raster image, so we can use tool "Draw order" to hide object under object, without delete it

thanks


Answer
Rofy, just wanted to clarify, Autocad is a vector based platform. If your intent is to hide objects in the background, use 'wipeout' instead. Then use 'tframes' to toggle hide the wipeout boundaries. You'll have more flexibility this way.
Otherwise, to answer your question, use 'jpgout' to convert entities/objects to raster format. This will export the objects (may require some cropping) & then import it in using 'image' command. You'll probably run in to some scaling issues.

Hope this helps!
