Inserting a reference image is quick and easy in Fusion 360. So I'm going to move this arrow up, holding this down, and nudge this a bit, and finally hit OK. Next I'm going to zoom in and I prefer our origin to be midpoint to the base of our bottle. For the Canvas opacity let's retain this to 50. And because this is a reference image we prefer this to be displaying through. Let's head back to our Bottle-Dimensions canvas, right-click and select Edit Canvas. Hit Enter and Fusion 360 recalibrates this image from this point to this point to be 60.3. I'm going to left-click here, and left-click here, and key in 60.3. From there Fusion 360 will resize our canvas to the specified value. Now the calibrate simply asks us to pick two points and enter a specific distance. Let's head to our front view and zoom in. I'm going to right-click and select Calibrate. Let's head to our canvas and twirl this down heading to Bottle-Dimensions. Let's leave this at their default state and hit OK. Now we are prompted to select a face, or plane. Selecting Image, other exercise files, let's select Bottle-Dimensions. Going back to our reference image in order for us to have it inside Fusion we can head up to Insert, and select Attached Canvas. This is for me to have a smooth workflow. Under Grid and Snaps I usually prefer to uncheck Snap to Grid, and Incremental Move. And, as a personal preference, I usually prefer, under Grid and Snaps, let me move Fusion up so you can see. This file is in JPG, and in Fusion 360, we can have this imported inside for us to trace its geometry. In this scenario we are given dimensions for our bottle by our marketing team.
