Insert a picture so it appears in a drawing page
Insert a picture so it appears in a drawing page
(OP)
AS described in another thread started by kirkhofer I am trying to insert a picture so that it will appear in a drawing - I can get the image inserted into the part drawing but it will not show up on the Drawing page - I had a go at the instructions given in this thread but its not working for me - any suggestions.
The image is actually a photo of an LCD screen on an electronic product btw.

RE: Insert a picture so it appears in a drawing page
A Sketch Picture can only be placed (& seen) in a sketch on the part model.
To view a bitmap image in a Drawing view, you will have to use the Insert > Object > Create from file feature.
Read the Help file for OLE objects

RE: Insert a picture so it appears in a drawing page
I need the LCD screen to be on a 3D view - I have got the angle I want by taking a screen grab from the part drawing and inserting the required portion (edited in paint!)as an object but I am obviously getting a "squared off" image.
Tried to CROP the required portion but no success. Do you think Photoshop might be able to give me the parallelogram image i need or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Could you place the isometric screen shot image of the "electronic product" c/w LCD into the the drawing sheet, instead of trying to place just the LCD image into a view?
