Insert an image into a Catia sketch (as on solidworks)

Hello

 

After several searches on the net, I can't find a method that satisfies me.

 

I'd like to insert an image into a Catia sketch, a bit like with the "sketch image" tool in Solidworks, with the aim of then redrawing on top of it.

 

If you have any tips or an idea to do this, I'm all for it.

 

Thank you in advance and have a good day to all

Have you watched this

I believe this is a solution

Thank you for your answer @gt22, I think I understood the principle  and should be able to solve my problem.

 

I am still open to other proposals, if they exist, closer to the principle of Solidworks where you can paste an image by sketches.

Hello

 

Have you seen this tutorial?

It looks well detailed.

Hello

For my part, I don't have the sketcher tracer module.

I go through a CATDrawing.

I draw a side line to size my image.

I open the image in "Paint" I select the part I am interested in (Ctrl-C), then in the CATDrawing, (Ctrl-V) I adapt the image to the right.

All that remains is to trace on top of it and then "copy paste" the line into a sketch.

 

Add-on to place the image relative to the origin, right-click on it in the select move menu.

(The blue marks in the CATdrawing correspond to the yellow in the sketch)

Thank you all for your answers, GT22's is the answer that comes closest to my need, it's a shame that Catia doesn't offer a simple sketch image tool, a little more direct.

 

Have a nice day
