hey yet another beginner question
(OP)
So Ive been learning solidworks and the most frustrating part is when I an get something to happen once but then when I try to replicate the process later I cant achieve the same results and I dontknow WHY? I research the threads and the closest I can find to an answer is thread559-103208
The question?
I was able to import one page of a pdf into a sketch picture by saving it as a jpg in photoshop but now it doesnt seem to do that for other pages. I was able to somehow save it as a bitmap but now trying to replicate that cant figure out how I got there whether it was from photoshop or illustrator... I finally have gotten it into a gif from a save for web from photoshop and that works...but really crap quality. It seems like it should be so simple Im in SW EV 06 and it should import either illustrator ai or photoshop jpg but only frustrationAAARRGH!!!!someone help an idiot!

The good news is that almost any form of image file can be inserted into a sketch with ease. So it looks to me like that's all you need to do--export to some form of image. In Photoshop, that's a piece of cake. File > Save As > and choose JPEG (or whatever). In Illustrator it's probably similar (foggy memory--I don't like that program much) like File > Export > and then you choose which format you want and what sort of resolution or dpi you want in your image. If you want better results in an image, increase the dpi or resolution.
