The Raster Attachments Options dialog opens.

Bing Maps Layers type and then click

A new raster, named "Bing Maps", is attached in Raster Manager.
Tip: Once Bing Maps is attached, you can also change the layer from the Bing Maps Layers pane in the Properties dialog.Note: You may get a EPSG:900913 coordinate system warning: Reprojection operation performed on coordinates outside of useful range of coordinate systemThis is normal as Bing Maps provides whole earth coverage and most coordinate systems are valid for only a small part of the earth.
