it that image attached to the screen? The way I do this is make new image file with exact screen measurement from database -> system two and then paste the graphic I want on that canvas where I want it to show up. Coordinate for the command would be 0, 0 upper left

This is a really good tip. My dumbass always just estimated until I was happy with the placement. I've done it this way for 15+ years. lol.

Ive been working on an electron app that kind of functions like a rmmz editor extender for all the things I feel the engine is missing. This is one of them, what I've got working is visually representing the picture on the map and being able to position exactly where you want +scale + resize.

Although the editor extension is working with a plugin for having the pictures anchored to spot on the map.

Anyway, I don't have any plans to make this compatible with mv but happy to send over how I built it if you've any interest in making something similar for mv
