Pictures in parts and drawings

[VB_10945282]

I'm using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode 7.0.9.0

Hello

I inserted an image into a part and then integrated that part into the assembly. Now I would like to install the same part into the assembly again. Now the following happens, it no longer shows me the image, even though it is present in the part. The image still displays with the first part installed, but no longer with the second. The images cannot be seen in the drawing at all, why is that? Can you change that?

Thanks and best regards

You should explain what method was used to insert an image into the part.

I insert an image into a part via View > Model Display > Images.

I think you would be better served using a decal for what you are doing. Decals can be saved with the part.

The method you are using to add the images to the models was not designed for what you are doing (it might work for your purposes however). The intended use of this functionality is to add an image in a model to use as a visual reference (trace sketch functionality). I have no answer as to why multiple components in an assembly do not include the display of the image on any save the first. I have never seen it used in assembly mode.

With regard to these showing in a drawing, try using this config option and report back on the drawing behavior.

I would not use either of these options to manage a label or sticker on a design. I consider best practice for any artwork on parts is to use a cosmetic feature to define the location of the artwork and refer to the artwork file with a note. The artwork source file would be used by vendors to create the markings, labels etc.

Hello, thank you very much for the answer. I have now created the image as a texture using the color effects. This works perfectly and is sufficient for our purposes.

Unfortunately, you can only see the texture in the drawing when the view is switched to shaded display. The Config option shows and hides the images when they are placed directly in the drawing or in the model.

Thank you
