Add Photos to a Drawing
ArcSite has two photo tools. Embedded photos pin an image to a specific location on your canvas โ useful for documenting site conditions. Background photos place an image behind your drawing so you can trace or mark up over it โ useful for blueprints, existing plans, or aerial images.
