image resize questions ….

[aklinstiver]

i have inserted an image that i want to resize. I have the following questions related to resizing an image.

1. say the image has 200′ grid ticks on it. i want to pick a couple of them and enter an absolute distance ie. 400′. is that possible. i would be fine picking a distance on the screen and calcing the scale factor manually.

2. when i resize my image by dragging a corner of the image, is there a way to preserve the existing x/y aspect ratio as i resize?

1. draw a line that is 400′ then calibrate the photo to the line, calibrating the clicks to the ends of the line. The photo will now be to scale and you can move it around.

2. I think there is an option to retain the aspect ration in the Properties dialog for raster images.
