How do you insert a .jpeg onto a Inventor drawing?

Hello,

 

I'm trying to place some pictures (.jpeg, bitmap, whatever) onto an inventor drawing but it won't let me.   I see when you create a sketch in a drawing there is an "image" option in the insert tab, however this option is always grayed out for me no matter what I try. 

 

The way I insert pictures on a drawing now is just to create a part, put the image as a decal on that part and create a view in a drawing with a shaded view. However with this option the lighting shows up and kills the image quality and it seems too complicated to be the correct way.  I figure there has to be a simpler method and I'm just missing it.

 

 

Thanks.

v2024.2 and I just had to google it and find this thread to explain it, so I guess I have to agree.
