Scanned sketch to model NX7
Scanned sketch to model NX7
(OP)
I've got a scanned sketch Scale 1:1@300dpi and need to do something similar to this

But I can simply not find the correct way of getting the image into NX7.
Any tips ?
Cheers
Michael

Raster images can be brought into Drafting (without Shape Studio) and curves can be created by tracing over the image. When finished, those planar curves can be exported to Modeling or edited via View Dependant Edit. All curves sent from Drafting to Modeling will more than likely end up on the XY plane, so keep that in mind as well.

But how do I bring it in as a raster image ? And in scale 1:1 ?

I'll give it a try tomorrow. It's 10:30 pm here.

Press the "Create Raster Image" then position / resize the image using the drag handles. Hit OK when finished.
Note that you get a Feature that can be edited like other features, moved scaled etc.
* Only Tiff images can be used. If the image looks strange, make sure that the image is 24 bit color.

Worked GREAT !!
Trickiest bit was to create the tiff image.
Thanks again.
