Insert picture into model
(OP)
Ok, what my boss has asked me to do is to create a good model that can be spun around in the eDrawing mode. What I need to do is to insert graphic info into the model. They have a barcode and a logo they would like to display in the edrawing format. Is there anyway to insert a simple graphic into the model so that it can be displayed through the edrawing function?
I haven't learned the photoworks yet. Is photoworks the only way I can place a graphic onto the model.
Also, I would like to know if there are any REAL good books out there that can help a moderate user go to the next level.

Functionality such as wrapping that picture and further manipulation can be found in PW2.
The only draw back is that when you create an eDrawing, this picture is not seen?? Any one have additional ideas?
Thanks

Are you talking about the model part or drawing or eDrawing?
The original post asked for eDrawing!
I have tried what you suggest on SW03-SP0 & SW04-SP1 & it only works for the model part, not the drawing or eDrawing.
Have you been to the Barrie Molson plant recently?

RE: Insert picture into model
1 - create a part as you intend
2 - select a face or a plane
3 - create a sketch in that face or plane
4 - save the part
5 - create a drawing from that part
6 - create views in the drawing
7 - go to the manager tree
8 - select the view you want to see the sketch and explode the tree
9 - RMC the sketch
10 - select show
Now the sketch (of the part) is visible in the drawing view.
Please try again.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the detail, but thats not what was needed!
The original post asked how to show a graphic (ie. a picture or photo) in an eDrawing. Your solution only works for a picture in model part sketch or vector sketches in drawing views. In the Feature Manager a RMB click on a "sketch picture" in a drawing view does not (on my machines anyway) offer a show/hide option & in an eDrawing no sketches are shown at all, only views.
Any other suggestions?

Did you manage to find anything on this? I now have a project where I could use this.
