You can resize the image and move it anywhere on the page.

> [!CAUTION]
> **WARNING:** Once you paste the Bill of Materials image into the drawing, Avontus Designer will not change the materials in the image as you make changes to the drawing itself. To include these changes, delete the Bill of Materials image and use the procedures above to copy the updated Bill of Materials to the drawing.
