Viewing a bitmap layer

You can control the bitmap artwork shown in the 2D or 3D views by choosing a specific bitmap layer and controlling whether or not it is visible. When a bitmap layer is created, it is active and visible by default.

To control the visibility of a bitmap layer:

  1. Select the layer containing the bitmap artwork you want to use.
    Tip: The name of the currently active bitmap layer is displayed on the 2D View tab:
  2. Click:
    • beside the Bitmaps item to hide the layer's artwork.
    • beside the Bitmaps item to display the layer's artwork.
Note: If you are working in the 3D view, click the Display Bitmap button on the 3D View toolbar. All bitmap artwork is hidden in the 3D view unless this button is selected.
