Armin, sorry to bother you again. As far as I can tell, I can modify the scale of elements such as lines, circles, etc. But is there a way to modify the scale of the entire JPEG image showing the swimming pool so subsequent elements added to it are properly to scale with the image? Or perhaps can the entire grid scale be modified if the JPEG image scale can't be modified?
I really appreciate your help with this. I need a good hands-on tutorial for LibreCAD 2.1.3 to get better acquainted with it.

You can use the info tool 'Distance Point to Point' to measure the diameter after import (menu Tools -> Info).
https://librecad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/tools.html#info
Then calculate the scale factor: 24 feet / measured diameter
And use the tool Modify -> Scale to scale the drawing.
To proof, you can measure the pool diameter again.
Sadly, there is no one click solution for this.
