3dsmax irritation - background image

Hi,

Ive experienced this with max for years but wondered if anyone knew of a workaround.
When you switch between ‘lock background’ image and not - (an essential part of modelling from scanned drawings) everything jumps. Is there a workaround or is just one of the thousands of lazily overlooked bugs that exist in the package?

cheers.

ps - autodesks subsciption fees have just gone up 5%

I will actually hit the next person i meet who works for them ;-)…you know who you are!!

I think is better to forget about BG image for modeling and place mapped planes with your ref pics behind your model.

This way you can easily have front/top/side refs too.
