Display an image in the background

We have a nice mock-up from our designer, and I'd like to take a picture of
it to put on the background in part or assy mode, to help capture the
"esthetical" intent while creating the model.

Is it possible, and how? (Can't find it)


TIA
JM

 

Insert>Picture
will do what you want, but you have to Insert>Customize Menu to add it first
i guess it isn't there by default. You can edit which picture and delet it
by View>Modify>Picture

Thank you, I did not look in the right place(s) first.

Even can insert picture in a sketch (tools/ Sketch tools/ insert picture -
translated from French), it has its own property manager...

 

Its better to insert into the sketch if you want to capture aesthetic
intent. You have direct, precise, and permanent control over the sketch
pictures scale and aspect ratio

Conversly, a picture inserted into the background will change its proportion
based on the width of the feature manager (there are, of course, tricks for
getting it back to the correct proportion...). There's nothing much that
will irk your designer more than returning a short, fat version of his/her
beautiful design.

 

That's what I did, resized the image to 1 pixel = 1mm. Works great, saved me
a lot of time.
