Re: About importing background images.

[Livio Farfara]

You should not use the “File/Import” comand to do what you want.
You can “Load” a background image in a view (other than the “Perspective View”) by .right clicking inside the window of the view of your choice, to open a context menu, then select “Background Image” and then “Load”. You will be prompted with the file selection dialog for .jpg, jpeg and bmp file types.
