Inserting a background raster image.

It is possible to insert in the drawing a background raster image.
This offers the possibility of drawing above the image geometric elements that can be vectored, for example image imported from a scanner.
The image is set with its lower left vertex on the origin of the drawing and can be redimensioned to the current drawing units.
When inserted, the image is converted to gray-scale, but the color can be redefined (e.g. green as in the examples below) to avoid confusing the pattern of the geometric elements with the image set behind them.
It is also possible to use the raster Snap on the lines and vertexes of the image; see the RAS command.

Here is an example
