Converting Objects to Wallpaper
Some objects on your graphic display have no interaction with the system. An imported
image, for example, may simply be part of the background. It is advantageous to
convert these elements to Wallpaper. This is available from the right-click menu or the
Edit menu.
Converting an object to wallpaper forces it to be static, locked into position. Once
converted, you cannot select it or animate it. Converting objects to wallpaper can help
speed up animated graphic displays because the wallpaper does not have to be redrawn
each time one of the overlapping objects changes. Wallpaper objects also help in
editing complex graphics – you can’t accidentally select it when you don’t mean to.
To convert wallpaper back to an object, use the Unlock All Wallpaper command from
the Edit, Wallpaper menu.
