Scaling images in sketches

The new insert image functionality arrived just in time - I have a physical object that I need to model in 3D. I was delighted to see that I can do this:
Right now it looks like the inserted image will scale together with any shape fully contained within the image, that gets a dimension. It's bit unclear to see this relation change if you move a shape outside of the image. Can this be visualised as a constraint and show in the part studio?
- insert image
- draw a line along a particular feature of the image
- set a dimension for that line
- see both the line and the image resize themselves

Allright. The minimum I'd expect to see soon[tm] would be this behavior explicitly asserted in a tooltip or documentation - just to set people's expectations right.
Thanks for making Onshape awesome! 0 -
I am also interested in a clearer workflow for calibrating image scale.0

@lougallo it looks like this isn't logged?0

@lougallo Still not implemented? I'm trying to use an image as a background to a sketch. The image file is a correctly scaled jpeg that shows as 100mm x 60mm in any image software. However, when onshape loads the image is appears to scale it to an entirely random size.

Not implemented in the "native" tool but there is a FS that works quite well for this, the only difference is that you place the image first as a separate feature instead of being part of a sketch:
