Picture in a drawing

(OP)
Hi,
I have a part file with picture. I have used sketch tools>Sketch Picture & inserted a picture.

Now in drawing, I need to bring in a view, with this picture showing. My view doesn't show this pic? why?
 

RE: Picture in a drawing

Did you go to View / Sketches?  You will need to turn on the view of sketches to see your pic.

- Having drawing file open, I have the the view > Sketches "On"
- In the drawing, expaneded (+) the view > went into part > Sketch and ensured that it isn't hidden.

Still, cant see the pic on my drawing view.  

RE: Picture in a drawing

What version of SW are you using?

The ability to view a sketch picture in a drawing was added in SW2010.

I think the OP has inserted an image file into the model, not a sketch-based item.  I think you will have to insert the image file directly into the .slddrw, but this will cause some associativity issues with the model.  Perhaps you can use the same image file and insert a Decal into your model, utilizing the same image source.

I use SW 2009 SP 3.0

I wish not to create this by inserting the picture separately into the drawing.

But it appears that its the only option left.
 

RE: Picture in a drawing

Do you have a version of SW which includes the PhotoWorks add-in? If so, the Decal method might be a better choice.

Thanks a lot. I will try that option.
