Default background image

Can somebody please explain to me how to install a background image so
I can use it as a guilde. So far what I have read doesn't seem to explain
to me how to do it and the video in one of messages is not on Youtube
anymore and is old.

I read the manual and it doesnt make since to me either.

Using ---- AC3D 7.0.3

Thanks

Shorty

Hey shorty, in any view, in the upper left corner (not the top or main menu) click on Orth. The dropdown will let you set or clear the background image. You can also move the background image using the alt and the arrow keys. And scale the background image using shift+alt and the up and down arrow keys.

Have fun

Well I think somebody should put a little note on it for first time users that tell them to turn the camera on. LOL

I finally figured that out after reading and thinking about what they were talking about.

Now I it says in the manual you can click on one vertex to drag it. Must be another
trick as i hit the V key and change it and clicked on a vertex and noting happens. If I draw a box around it it bring one or more up and not just one.

Thanks for the answer.
