Set Background image - please assist

[Anonymous]

Hello and thanks for reading.

I was reading the documentation here - http://fusion360.autodesk.com/learning/learning.html?guid=GUID-8B65BF24-B2D1-4E82-AF12-C565BBC4FF74

about how to set up a background image. When I open my insert menu, there is no option to set a background image. My insert menu looks like this [see image below]

Has Insert  Background Canvas been removed? Or maybe there is something I am not doing right? Please advise. Thanks again.

Fusion does not currently support "Background Canvas" in parametric designs.  I'm not sure why, to be honest.  But, you can use an attached canvas as a workaround:  

As another workaround, you can convert the design to a non-history design, add the background canvas, then convert back to parametric:

Hope that one of these work for you,

Jeff

That is too bad, but luckily not the end of the world. I use background images to get a better idea of how my design would look in the real world. I think the second method is closest to what I am trying to do - Thanks for the video! 😄
