Hi Ken, thanks for posting the file.

Align is meant to work by picking 2 points in the image and then mapping those to 2 points in the model space.

It won't work well in a view where you're viewing the image edge-on because you can't pick 2 points inside the image in such a view.

But while you are in the View > Image command you can drag on an image inside the viewport to relocate it and you can do that to an image that is being viewed edge-on.

If you move the images so they are not at the exact same depth level in the Front view does that then solve your display problem? Because if they are not right on top of each other you should end up with the Front image showing on top in the Front view and the RV.png showing on top when you switch to Back view.

If that is still a problem I could cook up a script for you that you could put on a shortcut key to hide or show the images based on the current view, let me know if that would be useful.

Thanks, - Michael
