# Importing an Image from a File

Avontus Designer enables you to import an image into a drawing. Once in, you can resize it, rotate it, place anywhere in the drawing, etc.

To import an image from a file:

1. Click the **Import/Export** tab, then click the appropriate item (**Insert Image** or **CAD Drawing**) in the **Import** group.

2. Locate and select the appropriate file and click **Open**.  
Avontus Designer adds the file to the current layer of your drawing as an image file.
