Hi marzRX,

re:

The "Align" function is for a different purpose, to map a line in the image with a line in model space.

For what you want, don't go into the Align sub-tool just drag starting from near the center while you are running in the Image command.

Hi Phiro,
When I saw your answer, I realized that I had overlooked the construction lines.

However, when I actually tried it, it didn't work well.
Do the construction lines snap to the corners of the image?

In your video, you're dragging the image right after drawing the construction lines. Did you edit that part? I tried to replicate it but couldn't do it as smoothly as in your video.

I tried to replicate your procedure. It's not snapping to the corners.// 450KB mp4 attached

Don't use the Align tool, instead drag the image from the center point while running inside the main Image command, not the Align sub-command.

Hi Michael,

Wow! I would never have noticed that.

Whether it's exporting paths or center snapping for images, it turns out that all these features were included - I just didn't know it.
I guess I need to study a bit more. Still, I'm happy to find out that I can do what I've been wanting to do. Thank you. :)

Got it! I just need to drag from the center point while within the main Image command, not the Align sub-command.

It took me a bit longer to respond as I was writing in English.
