Insert Image command

Use the Insert Image command to insert an image into a document. Inserted images can contribute to your modeling workflow in several ways. For example, you can sketch geometry over an image to create features based on it. Or you can use an image as a label or decal on a plane or planar face in the model.

You can insert image files of the following types:

• Windows Bitmap (*.bmp)

• Portable Network Graphics (*.png)

• Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif)

• Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe)

• Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) (*.tif, *.tiff)

You can either link or embed the image, and you can control its display, including height, width, and aspect ratio.

In a draft document, another way to insert an image is to drag it from your desktop onto the working sheet, or copy and paste it from an external application, such as Microsoft Paint. Pictures inserted in this manner are created as image objects rather than as symbols.
