[@jnpatil9]

how to scale it after importing?

[@hillfortherstudios2757]

How do you scale an image that you imported like this image in the video?

[@BumpNrun69]

If you haven't figure it out yet? At the 0:28 second mark, notice in Attach PDF drop-down box. There's an option to Scale "on screen" click option (right side). Allows you to Scale when importing. Or if it's already imported into drawing, Right Click on object (pdf image) and choose Scale.

[@kumarjethavani3428]

app link kya he

[@shubhamdarji9360]

How to use content library in simple autocad mean that not like using mechanical or civil version .... so please tell about this thing...

[@sourcecad]

I believe you are asking about "Design center" in this case. For AutoCAD design center can be accessed using CTRL + 2 key, you can also use blocks from tool palette which can be accessed using CTRL + 3 key.
