Image Workbench/id

The image module manages different types of bitmap images, and lets you open them in FreeCAD. Currently, the modules lets you open .bmp, .jpg, .png and .xpm file formats in a separate viewer window.

The image workbenches also allow to open an image on a plane in the 3D-space of FreeCAD. This function is available via the second button of the image workbench.

The plane can be moved in 3D-space by editing the placement in the Property editor. The major use is tracing over the image, in order to generate a new part at using the image as template.
