Inserting Images

You can insert an image into your design or onto a drawing sheet. Inserted images and their transparency colors, aspect ratio, and placement information are saved with the design.

After you insert an image, you can select the image to display control handles for image editing. The control handles highlight when moused over and selected. If Show cursor arrows is selected in SpaceClaim Popular Options, arrows also appear next to your cursor that indicate the directions in which you can move your mouse to manipulate the image.

When placing the image, all the normal orientation shortcuts work, as well as Ctrl+Alt dragging the middle mouse button to scale/zoom the image itself. This keyboard shortcut provides an way to quickly scale the image to the size of the face.

When you insert an image with the File tool and wrap it onto a face with the Place Wrapped Image tool guide:

• You can select Location, Size or Location and Size from the Lock property to prevent changes to the size and location of an image wrapped to a face.

• You can select both inserted and wrapped images.

• Once you select a wrapped image, you can drag it around the face it is wrapped onto, resize it, and rotate it with the image control handles.

• Multiple images can be wrapped onto the same face or surface.

• Images wrapped onto a face or surface move with the face or surface.
