However, if entities have been deleted with the layer, they will reappear on layer '0' if the action is undone. Layer '0' can never be deleted.

Note that the DXF file which is created when saving a drawing, contains only a reference to images. Note that large bitmaps can cause the drawing display to become very slow.

Rotating large bitmaps with QCad is generally not advisable. You might want to use a bitmap graphic application to rotate the image before you insert it into a QCad drawing. Usually you will want images to be in the background of other entities. Please refer to the 'Modify' - 'Send to back' function to learn how to do that. Figure Images are often used in the background of a drawing to manually vectorize bitmaps.
