The CAD-View offers the possibility to add a background image in the correct scaling, which can help while working on a specific plan. To add a background image, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Settings menu item in the CAD-View Window.
2. Within the Settings Window you can see the Settings of this CAD-View.
3. Load your image via the Background Image property.

## **Auto-Fit Background Image**

To scale your image to the right size, you can easily pick a distance and center on the image and it will stretch the background image accordingly.

1. Within the CAD-View Menu > Display > Fit Background Image.
2. Pick a known distance for your image (this might be any scaling info).
3. Now enter the correct distance.
4. Pick the center.
