Question

How do we get transparent images into a Creo Format file (.frm)?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode 9.0.1.0

I need to upload a transparent image into a Creo format file (.frm). I can upload images into the format files but Creo always gives them a white background. I have tried to insert transparent images of many different file types and none have retained their transparent background once uploaded into Creo format.

Assuming you are using the images functionality to place the image in your drawing. Follow these steps.

Hello and thanks for replying!

 

I do not seem to have the images option under View. So far I have been inserting images into Creo's format files using the Layout > Object pathway. Do you have any ideas as to how I can get this images option in the View tab? Thanks so much for your help! 

 

I believe I have attached two images so you can see my Creo Toolbar options

Here are the steps:
1. Click Layout > Images.
2. Click Import.
3. Locate the image file, select it, and click Open.
4. Drag the image to where you want it placed on the drawing.
5. If desired, adjust the image's scale, rotation, and/or transparency.
That's it! The imported image file becomes part of the drawing. And note, the system doesn’t require object linking and embedding (OLE).
