Hiding a PDF or Photo Background

You've uploaded a PDF or photo to begin a drawing, but want to be able to hide it permanently or temporarily - learn how to disable your background in ArcSite.

This feature is currently only available in iOS

Whether you've started your project drawing with a satellite image of the property, or have uploaded a site plan PDF, you may want to toggle that off and on as you work.

You'll find the "Background" toggle from within Settings in the top right of the canvas; see the example below.

Toggle off and once hidden, the background will not show up in an export of your drawing. Re-enable it to view.

This can very useful in determining how your work is preceding without a heavy visual in the background.
