Pictures are always inserted under your drawing objects, so you can add a picture at any time.

In Select select  mode you can move a picture, as with any drawing object.

The inserted picture can be rotated and the transparency level can be set in the Display Properties dialog box.

  • Right click on a highlighted picture and then select All Properties
  • Or select Properties from Edit menu.
