Plotting images as background

I have imported an aerial photo as a background for a survey plat. I am using Carlson Survey with intellicad 8.2.1107.92523.P.VC11.x64.RF82a engine. When I plot the drawing, the image covers all of my linework. How do I set it so the image will plot as background and transparent?

Thanks,

Hi
Please, use the command "Draworder" to change the draw order (back, front ...) of the image or any objects.
We can use the property palette to set the properties of the image.

Thank you. That worked great. Now how do I get the image to print more transparent? I changed the transparency, but it still plots dark.

Your image must be in png to use the transparent layer.
