Re: Copy background image between levels?
There may be a workaround.

STEP 1
- Import your background picture.
- When you have to adjust the scale line, make it as large as your screen allows. Do this at the top of the screen, so that you can be sure the line isn't slightly skewed.
- In the next step set an estimated value for the length of the line.
- Set the coordinates for top-left.
- Click Finish.

STEP 2
- Now take a look at your imported background picture and look at a line with a known length.
- Using the Dimension tool, measure that line as accurately as possible.
- Divide the measured length (in the workspace) with the estimated length (during importing) and write down that number.

STEP 3
- Select Modify background image and go to step 2
- Divide the estimated length with the number you have written down
- If necessary, repeat step 2 and 3 until the line with the known length is scaled correctly.

STEP 4
- You can now import the background picture for the other levels, directly using the definite, experimentally "refined" scale.
