There has been an annoying issue with the Image Background since the start: It requires the PNG image compression setting in Vectorworks Preferences in order to work. With the JPG image compression all free edges of any foreground object or image prop looks jagged and poorly.
But I do not want to work with the PNG compression setting as a default on a daily basis, it makes the VW files huge and heavy.
And I cannot use a setting, that applies only to one document – or one viewport.
The result is that I avoid using image backgrounds – and when I finally do, I forget about the compression setting and is disappointed with the result.

I am sure, you can fix that, so please do 🙂
