Translucent Images
Translucent Images
(OP)
I'm using Autodesk Land Desktop 2007.
I would like to insert two images and make one of them a certain percentage of transparent to be able to see through the fore image.
Any suggestions on the procedure for this?

Then, type IMAGE in command line (also pull down Insert, Image Manager) and select. Repeat with the other image. You will need to run Tools, Draw Order, Send to Back with one, and Bring to Front with the other.

This option is not available if the image is currently unloaded or if the Raster Extension is not loaded. To load the Raster Extension, choose any Raster Extension command, such as Image Manage, from the Map menu.
Note The transparency color is stored in the drawing as an Autodesk Map custom object. If you send the drawing to other users, they can see the transparency color only by opening the drawing in Autodesk Map or Autodesk CAD Overlay. If they open the drawing in AutoCAD, they see a message that AutoCAD cannot reference the custom object and will not display the transparent color.

One work around might be to merge the two images into one image using a graphics program like Photoshop ($$$) or Gimp(Free). It's not hard with these programs to adjust transparency etc. The only downside of this is that you'll end up with one large graphics file.

Load whatever multiple images you need and scale them in appropriately.
Highlight images (individually or in combination) and rt click for shortcut menu.
In the shortcut menu, you can select transparency from a submenu then select on or off (by typing ON or OFF on text line).
Maybe regen the doc and then make sure they are not the same color or you can't tell which is in foreground.
