Hi all
I work with SW2013 under W10. My problem is the following : having made a portal as an assembly (SLDASM), I wanted to put it in a situation by placing behind it, a photo of the future location in JPG.
I had already used Sketch Image Insertion for a part (SLDPRT), but this command is not available for assembly.
Is there a solution and if so, what is it?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Hello
Create a map behind the gate then drag and drop on it or put it in the background. In the decals you can put your photo there.
Thank you for your answer, but how do I drag and drop on the map I created?
See this tutorial

From the 33 minutes onwards he talks about the subject
Insert on Sketch Image
@+ ;-)
You minimize the display of Solidworks and click on the image icon and you move it into Solidworks or copy and paste.
You can also Edit the scene, put your image and put a camera to manage the perspective ;-)
Hello
Otherwise why don't you make a new part with this image inserted, to size it edit the part in the assembly, you will have an overview.
Hi all
For GT22's answer, the video is about an example processed with SW2014 and the solution used does not work with SW2013.
For the answer from Ac Cobra 427, when I want to paste the image on the created plan, a message tells me "The object of the clipboard cannot be pasted here."
Regarding Max59's solution, I'll try to decode his solution.
Regarding the solution proposed by A. Leblanc, I don't really understand it
Thank you to the four of you for your advice.

what's your problem why it doesn't work with your version
it works with my SW 2012
You need to create a sketch in the background
and make an image insertion
See this

see attached files SW 2012
Thanks to Gt22 for sending the fihier piece.
Indeed in this case of a fihier piece, the image insertion works with SW2013 but if you are working on an assembly file, then the command is grayed out and as a result, it is impossible to insert the image.
What prevents you from creating a typical glass surface part
that you will make transparent via the
and that on the back of this said piece
you create a sketch in which you insert your image
and this said piece you insert it into your assembly
so in your assembly you will have this part + your assembly
Do you manage the dimensions so take a good look at the dimensions of your assembly
to center your gate on the photo
if of course your photo is taken perpendicular to your face
It seems to me quite simple to divert this problem with a little reflection ;-)
well I think for me ;-)
@+ ;-)
I'll try to be a little clearer dsl.
I don't know if it 's possible to edit a part in an assembly with your version.
If so, simply insert an X part (empty tree) in your assembly, you edit this X part from your assembly (in 2016 the rest of the assembly is visible in transparency), then you insert your image into a sketch and you can stretch or move it as you wish.
I'll try to make you a little video tomorrow if I can get 5min.
Hello
and here it is, it's done in a hurry, but the principle is there, use the SW help on this subject if needed.
Hello
The simplest is the background image in the properties of the file because there you can rotate the whole thing to match it as well as possible in relation to the image, which will not allow the insertion of a part containing the image because you will not be able to orient yourself easily.
So go to Tools/Option/colors and put your image in the background, see image.

Coyote, it's a very good idea, but is it possible to change the dimensions of this image, isn't it stretched over the entire window? If the dimensions of the image can be changed easily, it's definitely interesting.
It's not complicated to orient an image inserted in a part, you just have to define a sketch plane in the part for depth, and then edit it from the assembly to stretch or move it to the sides.
And besides, wouldn't it be better to use a scene, it would be easier for orientation and customization.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice.
It's always easy for those who know and difficult for others.
Your best answer is vague... We don't know who helped you or if you found the solution and or how...
Did you manage to do what you wanted?
I think the easiest way is to make a scene, there are a lot of tutorials that explain all this.
yes it solves no walkthrough this answer so -1
