Having a reference drawing behind the design screen

Having a reference drawing behind the design screen

I’ve just been watching Brad Tallis design the spark plug bottle opener and it reminded me of a option I’d like to see.  While watching his video drawing the spark plug I was wondering if there is a way to place an image of the drawing with the measurements as a image at the rear of the design screen so you can reference it as you create the spark plug. Reason is I don’t have a printer close where I work and changing screens to get the measurements all the time is annoying. The drawing doesn’t have to be from Fusion, it could be a sketch, photo or jpg the designer has sent to you. Maybe you could you use a shortcut key and mouse to switch to the background drawing to move around, zoom into or remove this after it’s not needed any more. Any ideas.

I have been doing this by inserting a canvas. Many file types are supported.
