Insert image and scaling in order to measure?

Volkhard Neumann's Photo Volkhard Neumann 28 May 2019

I am very casual user of the basic functions of NanoCad 5. But I have an application where I want to take a photograph and determine dimensions from it. I am not sure whether this is possible inside NanoCad.

My approach would be to take a photo and import it into NanoCad.
Now I would draw lines using the photograph as template.
From a known size of one object withing the photo I like to scale my traced line.
Now I should be able to measure all dimensions at will.

Keep in mind I am a beginner with the program.

Is this possible within NanoCad? If yes could someone please describe the steps I have to take for this?

Thanks

Volkhard
