Insert Image into Part and Drawing

[agold]

I'm trying to insert images (jpg, bitmap, etc.) into a part on a surface and have them show up on the drawing. I am able to insert the images into a sketch in the part using the Tools>SketchTools>SketchPicture command. However, when I insert the part into a drawing, the picture doesn't show up. Does anyone know how to do this?

The drawing view needs to be in one of the shaded modes.

Apply to the picture as a decal to a face using PhotoWorks.

I don't have PhotoWorks. Any other suggestions?

Make a Texture and add it to the part. Otherwise, there is no other option for insertings image, other then just doing it as an object in the drawing level, but it will not be connected to the part in anyway.

This only works for drawings - Insert the impage into a spreadsheet and then import the spread sheet into your drawing.

Texture will show up in a drawing now, but you have to shade the view.

hisrik ... you don't need to import the whole spreadsheet, just copy-n-paste the image from the spreadsheet The same works for any other OLE compliant program.
