Hi okapi - ok thanks for explaining it more, I understand now what you mean.

You should be able to do the first stage, the positioning part, currently - you don't have to drag on a corner of the image, you can drag anywhere inside of an image to move it around to adjust its position.

It's the second part of matching the "registration marks" between the image and the model which is a problem.

It will be difficult to make the regular scale tool work on images, since an image is just not set up to be treated like a regular object. It just does not fit within the regular object and selection mechanism which is what the normal scale command is designed to work with.

But maybe what I can do is add a "Scale" button into the View / Image command to handle this particular image task - there is a pretty good spot for a button under the "Add" button in there right now where it could go.

Do you need to align a rotation in a similar way? Maybe instead of a "Scale" tool it should be an "Align" tool which does scaling and rotation both by picking 3 points.
