If you go ahead and turn on the Shaded views, you can show the full appearance in the Drawing!Īlthough this example is a bit “out of the norm”, this new feature might just allow you to document your designs in certain area with greater detail. To insert a picture into a drawing: Click Sketch Picture (Sketch toolbar) or Insert, Picture. In SolidWorks 2010, the Sketch Picture automatically comes into the Drawing and is shown in all views where the image is visible. Use transparency when two images occur on parallel planes to. The problem with an example like this is that when you take that model to a Drawing, the centerpiece (the Sketch Picture) was in the past lost. Insert sketch pictures onto either side of a sketch plane, and control the transparency of images. With the help of Realview and a nice rendering made in Photoview 360, it’s pretty easy to quickly make something that is visually appealing. But after turning that off, my pictures are still gone. This happened after I briefly selected view->hide all types. You can now show Sketch Pictures inserted in models on the Drawing! Below you’ll see a quick example I made of a picture frame. Im working on a surface model and went back in to edit some guide curves and found my sketch pictures disappeared.
This one is kind of a “reminder post” of a new feature in SolidWorks 2010 that is easy to overlook. Open in SOLIDWORKS User Forum to read and respond to complete thread. With my schedule relaxing a bit, I’m finally back in the groove and am excited to bring some new posts to the site. Sketch Picture Placement Wizard MySolidWorks.
