To add an image to a view

1. Open the model view in which you want to place the image.
2. Click Insert tabImport panel (Import Image).
3. In the Import Image dialog, navigate to the folder containing the image file to import.
4. Select the file, and click Open.

   The imported image displays in the drawing area and moves with the cursor. The image displays symbolically, with 2 crossing lines indicating the extents of the image.

5. Click to place the image.

   Alternatively, you may drag an image from your local drive into a model view.

6. If needed, scale, rotate, mirror, or resize the image.

By default, images are imported behind the model and annotation symbols; however, you can change the display order.
