Be sure to rate this article 5 Stars if you find it helpful!

Once you've added your Overlay, you are prompted to deskew (this may be necessary if your Overlay is a scanned file). Deskewing, just like with a Base Image, levels out your image horizontally.

If the Overlay image is not level, select Yes to open the Deskew Image window (select "No" to skip deskewing).

Click on the Select tool , find a horizontal line (one that should be horizontal, that is) on the overlay image (BLUE), and then click and drag to trace the line from left to right - use the longest horizontal line possible for the most accurate deskewing)

On-Screen Takeoff deskews the drawing to make that drawn line horizontal.

When you are done deskewing, you are prompted to Resize the Overlay (if needed).
