1.	Select paste options.

(You can also select File Menu > Tile > Add Tile from Twain Source, which does exactly the same thing.)

Paste From > Acquire starts up your scanner software. Use your scanner software to scan a drawing.

The pasted area is outlined in red. If View Menu > Cursor Type > Graphic is selected, the cursor changes to the Move cursor: .
