INDUSTRY INSIGHTS YOUR PEERS ARE READING
You may want to ask your network connections, as many business who started in drafting and design have made substantial investments to offer BIM services to specialty contractors. BIM CAD Construction Industry - Software augmented reality business development constructionBuilding Information Modeling (BIM) has become an industry standard on complex construction projects. As more Construction owners reap the benefits of BIM, more projects add a modeling component. MORE

The only solution is to place images in a drafting view (or legend view) first. Rescaling the image can also be easier from a drafting view once scale is established.
