Importing rendered images into drawing files?
Importing rendered images into drawing files?
(OP)
New Solidworks user here. Trying to import a fully rendered image as shown in my "Part" drawing into a "Drawing" file... And NOT as a link to another program.
I want to be able to import a full color image into a drawing and place leaders and text into the drawing for illustrative purposes and then print them. So far, all I've been able to do is bring in black and white images into my drawing files. Any way to bring in a fully rendered image?
ALso, how come my hidden line views just plain OMIT lines that should be there in my drawing files even after I've activated the "show hidden edges" command in the drawing? Any way to fix this or a good way to "fudge" the missing lines?

Notice the fully rendered PhotoWorks image near the bottom. I just copy/pasted the jpg image into my drawing.

When in a drawing file (.SLDDRW), the icons that change the view rendering (wireframe, hidden line, hidden line removed, shaded, shaded with shadow) is grayed out as though they are not optional for me to use.
I'm either stumped or stupi...

If you have a drawing open, just drag & drop the .sldprt file into it. The drawing view(s) will be automatically created, then you can select whichever viewing mode (Wireframe, HLV, HLR, Shaded With Edges or Shaded), you need for each view.
