Placing an image into a view
Once the image has been placed, you can resize it by clicking and dragging
the grips at the corners of the image. The aspect ratio of the image is
maintained when dragging a corner point. To access these grips after
placement, just click the image. You can place text and linework on top of
the image as necessary.
If you need to show an image in a 3D view for rendering, you can bring
the image into your file by creating a decal. The Decal button is located on
the Insert tab. Clicking the bottom half of this button allows you to place
a loaded decal or access the Decal Types dialog box, shown in
Figure 4.41
.
You will first need to create a decal type within your project by clicking the
Create New Decal icon in the lower-left corner.
