Here I would like to try to scale this image (Sketch 14,15) so the center hole of the image lines up with the center of the part that you can see in the background. Is this possible? The edges to the left and the right of the image should line up with the edges of the part

I would draw two diagonal lines from the corners of the bounding box of the image, add an intersection point, and then constrain the point from the image to the center point of your part.

@fnxf 's suggestion works well if the image is already cropped such that the center of the image is actually the center of the pictured geometry. If not, you'll want to first size the image by stretching it until a part of it with known size overlays exactly on a dimensioned line/circle/etc. Then you'll also need to eyeball centering the image. Again, this only applies if you have an image that isn't cropped centered. But the dimensioning bit still applies.

and about the scaling, the first dimension of the image bounding box scales it. See also the video here: https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/sketch-image.htm?Highlight=Scales

Thank you all. My third week playing with 3D modeling and it is fascinating. Thank you for your help!

As an aside, you can just put a point roughly in the center, and pick two diagonal corners and select middle constraint. No need to add diagonal lines.

Since most pictures of a circle end up being slightly skewed, the circle ends up being more of an ellipse. So when trying to figure out its center, its useful to conform an actual sketch ellipse to the image.
