Strings and Pins (https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/1711/view) allow you to make detective boards in FGU.

Firstly open a New Image using the "cork board" asset (or whatever asset you have like a concret wall or any wall paper).
Then create a Drawing Layer called for exemple "photos" and place your photos/images documents using the stamp tool (place the image you want from Assets (not from Images) in the small frame under the stamp tool).
Before placing them, vary their size with ctrl + mouse wheel and their angle with shift + wheel.
Then you create a "Strings" drawing layer for which you use the line tracer tool (next to the square tracer tool) by placing one of the 4 string assets (red, green, blue or yellow) in the small frame under the tool. You vary the size of the string, then trace a straight line with one click, then double-click (or esc) to stop the string. Or hold down the mouse button to manually draw a curve. You can adjust the color of the strings inside the line tracer tool. I provided 4 colors for ease of use.
Then a "pins" layer for the pins using the stamp tool. (You can vary the size of the pins either by changing the values in the tool or using the wheel).
The rope ends are not compulsory, you can do it with the mouse (a tiny circle looks like a knot). The ends are used to give the strings a bit of variety.
The awesome extension "Points of Interest" by Saagael can enhance vastly your "Strings and Pins" experience.
