    Merging drawings in FASTCAM

    Hi everyone

    I am looking for some help on how to merge drawings FASTCAM.
    An example of what I am trying to do is:

    Drawing 1 - a tree branch
    Drawing 2 - a bird

    I want to merge the drawings so that the bird is sitting on the branch.

    Can anyone advise how to do this.

    Thanks

    Since no one has replied,,I'll lay out the basic steps to do it in my software,and see if you can apply it.
    First bring in your first drawing/change the color of it to another color other than default.
    Create another layer/merge in 2nd drawing
    Use the translate/drag/and rotate to put your tree where you want it all the while you have layer 2 off
    Turn layer 2 on/use pick by color/move bird where you want it
    Hope that helps

    Thankyou for your reply
    The FASTCAM software however does not allow/ work the same way.
    Does anyone else have a suggestion for FASTCAM

    Thanks
