The frame holding the image can be added to the layout or model spaces. What happens when the link to the image is lost in the gCADPlus drawing?
Clients can interpret landscape plans more easily if photos of species and hardscape elements used in the design are inserted into layout sheets and ready for printing. Here, we show you how to use the IMAGE command to search for and paste images directly into layout sheets. Manipulation of image files is made easier if they are inserted (pasted) onto a specific layer.
