How to open images and take measurements in Solid Edge ST5
(OP)
Hi!
I'm modelling a spur gear in solid edge st5. I wasn't able to obtain the exact gear tooth profile. There is an option in CATIA wherein you can take open an image and make measurements.
So if you were modelling a gear, then you could take a photograph of the gear placed next to a scale. Calibrate your measurement in the image using the photograph of the scale. Then you can measure the tooth profile parameters and then sketch. I wasn't able to do the same thing in ST5 and was wondering if anybody can help me do so!
Thanks!

You can insert an image while in sketch mode. Start your sketch, then go to the "tools" tab. You will see an icon for inserting a text profile and one for inserting an image. From there you can insert a photo and scale it as necessary.
