    Default Document Area

    Hi,

    I have a very large image ( 1024 x 758 ) that I want to have moving across
    the document area ( 300 x 200 ).

    Obviously I only want to have a small section of this image displayed.

    My problem is that when I insert the image symbol, it completely covers the
    document area, so that I cant tell where the borders of the document area
    are.

    This is a problem when lining up the image so that the small bit that I want
    displayed is in the correct position.

    Is there anyway to make the borders of the document area visible ( ie in
    front of the symbol ).

    Thanks

    Default Re: Document Area

    You might try making a box (outline only) that covers the paremeter of your
    document area on a higher layer than the layer the image is on. Delete the
    'box' layer when you have everything aligned.
