Hey newbie in the house,
I want to use .jpg site photos for backgound images to try to show design onsite. How to please??

File> External Drawing> Place external Drawing.

If you want it to show in a floor plan window, place it there. If you just want to be able to reference it while you work, place the drawing (JPG) in a worksheet. With floor plan window active, in the navigator right-click on the worksheet and select 'show as trace reference'.

Please add your AC version and OS to your profile.

If you want to use it as a background in 3D window, place on floor plan using the Figure tool, then use the Align View command (under Document menu > Creative Imaging...). Search the forum (the search link beside Memeberlist above is best, not the very top search bar) for Align View if you have difficulty with it (it rarely works first time, even if you know what you're doing )
