Virtual Studio help...
(OP)
I have a finished assembly drawing and I need to add a logo and some other info that will be screened onto the part. I have been tasked with creating the finished product in Virtual Studio. How would I go about importing the images and text that I need to complete the illustration?

Step 1:
1A)create a part for the sticker, assemble it on the part.
OR
1B)n.a.
Step 2:
2A)edit the sticker part (1A) or the part on which the logo should be mapped. Format/Style/New : create a new face style, name it logo for example and in the texture tab, import your image (cannot be an eps though... you'll have to convert to a standard image format). After the new face style is created. Apply it on the face or partial face (using a sketch and the split face command) by using Format/Part Painter. Go to VS+ and detach material on that part if anything was already applied to it. By refreshing the presentation image (render), you should see your logo appear.
2B)in VS+, create a material. Using the 'Wrapped filetered image' shader, you will be able to import a standard image file. Then save that material in a personnal archive. Finally apply that material on the appropriate part (face only is not possible though...) by dragging the material on the sticker part for example.

What do you consider a standard image format? I'm a graphic designer and SE and drafting and all of this is so new to me.

Also when I use 2B, the logo is almost like wallpaper...any suggestions on how to control the number of repetions of the logo?
Thank you

for 2B), there is a scale setting that should help. (if using method 2A, there is also a scale setting in the texture tab)
It's 2A) OR 2B). You have to choose one method or the other.
