insert jpeg images into the sketch, and make them paths for excavations or protusions?

[superzeus3]

Good morning to all,

at work I have solid edge version 18, and often I have to insert to the sides of my solid logos, labels, etc.

is it possible, making sketch-inser-image get from this a profile of what is represented? to be able to dig?

because with that command I insert the image in the sketch, which so can only be seen in the 3d environment, on table 2d is not reported

unless there is a way to get the image back on table 2d, or another command to insert the image

Thank you very much for any answers

It does not seem to me that there is the possibility to display an image inserted in the 3d environment, directly in the drawing viosta.
However, you can use the "image inserici" command directly from the 2d environment.

Indeed, it can display the shadow on the view (activating the finishes) but I do not remember if on the v18 you can do.

I had already tried, but I forgot to specify something. .

These my boards are then saved in dwg to be displayed by everyone, even if I insert image into the 2d environment, this is then lost in conversion. .

for this I was looking for a way to make these images a profile to dig

Hi.

I tried but visualizing the shading I do not see the same image

If you put the image in a sketch you must also show the sketch in the view.
I usually create a style with the image that I then stick to the faces I want.

all this is useless if you have to do a dwg. (however the format to be displayed by everyone is pdf and not dwg).

to convert a raster image into vectors, there are several more or less valid, free and paid converters. But usually you find them in illustration products and not in mechanical cads like solid edge.

I used this site the times I needed it: http://vectormagic.com/home

ciao

I have already tried, sorry I didn't specify, I showed sketch in the view and active shadow display but I only see the outside of the image and not the content. .

on the pdf I have already proposed it, but the company choice is the dwg with viewers and you do not change

I could use a little program that converts me an image in dwg or dxf for example yes, later I try what you suggested to me

Usually when you make wrong choices comes the time when you remedy it.

They probably didn't realize they made a wrong choice yet.

Hi.

 

[superzeus3]

It was well understood that valid motivations were there, in their choice, and I did not mention it because it is not the topic of discussion. . .

 

[Be_on_edge]

My wish was to be a provocation, certainly there are aspects for you important that make you stay on the dwg, but sometimes you have to question yourself and understand if actually what you are doing is the best solution.

from my point of view I see the following negative sides in using dwg:

1. use of highly unstable and heavy self-desk viewers
2. potentially those who view the design can go to take measures not foreseen on the design itself, with therefore possibility of serious errors
3. lack of a distributed display standard, a pdf viewer all have dwg viewer no
4. lack of the possibility to manage links to other pages and drawings.

positive aspects?

the possibility of taking measures someone could see it as an advantage.

I am an outsider, the only one with a cad3d license, and I am not always present in the company, where there were already autocad 2d licenses

in this way for very urgent small changes to be presented even at any time (written, codes, data in tables, etc.) can be autonomous even in my absence.. and I calmly stay in the days of presence. .

then some suppliers have 2d autocad so they work directly from our file we send

Sorry, I realized that they used dwg only to view the files, now it's clear to me the situation.

at this point the only really effective way is to transform the bitmap into vector and dig\incid the faces.

Hi.

 

[superzeus3]

You're the only way, and the program you've shown me seems very interesting. .

but can I save the result also with the free version? or is it bought?

 

[Be_on_edge]

You can save for five times it seems to me then you have to buy.

I've already finished them.

 

[superzeus3]

I can't even save the first -- the screen result looks great..but asks me to register to save

 

[Be_on_edge]

I had to register (free) to access the download.

you can also try wintopo; available also in free version, rather limited but maybe for what you have to do it has sufficient functionality.

Bye.

 

[superzeus3]

Thanks for the suggestion, I also tried wintopo but the result is not enough for me, thank you anyway
