Creating a background for a display

You can create a background for a graphic display by converting objects to wallpaper.

For example, you can import photographs of a machine or process, convert the images to
wallpaper, and then overlay the wallpaper with animated objects.

When graphic objects are converted to wallpaper, they are locked into position and
become a static background for other objects in the display. You cannot select, modify, or
animate wallpaper objects.

To convert objects to wallpaper

1. Select one or more objects.

2. Select Edit > Wallpaper > Convert to Wallpaper.

To reactivate converted objects, and to restore any animation attached to the objects,
unlock the wallpaper.

If a graphic display contains bitmaps that do not need to be selected or animated, to reduce the
time it takes to open the display, convert the bitmaps to wallpaper.

Objects in a global object display cannot be converted to wallpaper.
