Description

The CreateImagePlane tool imports an bitmap image and places it on one of the XY, YZ or XZ planes.

How to use

  1. Press on the Image Plane.
  2. Select the image in the dialog.
  3. Choose the plane where the image will be placed, as well as its offset.

Properties

  • The image can be scaled by editing the DataXSize and DataYSize values in the Property editor.
  • The image can be moved in the 3D view by editing the DataPlacement in the Property editor.
  • The image can be rotated around any axis by using the Property editor.

Notes

Selecting the image in the tree view and activating its data-tab in the property view lets you select size
and orientation of the image. Specifying a small offset of 0,1 mm on import will make it easier to trace the image.
