you can do it with TCAD's inspector.See BkBitmap property,it can load a bitmap form a file and BkBitmapMode property,it can change bitmap's show style.
Also,you can do it by code.see it.
Code example:
procedure TMainFrm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var mBitmap:TBitmap; begin mBitmap:=TBitmap.Create; mBitmap.LoadFromFile('xpatag.bmp'); MyCAD1.BkBitmap:=mBitmap; MyCAD1.BkBitmapMode:=Center; mBitmap.Free; end; ;
