Insert logo on drawing sheet

How do I do this? I have a jpg logo but can't seem to insert into the title
block on the drawing sheet.

Many thanks.

 

Might try converting it to a bitmap ( paint can do this ) then
"insert-object". If placing the logo on the sheet format, be aware that it
will obscure sheet format objects if it gets too close to them. I've not
found a way to send inserted objects to the back and have them stay there.

 

Edit your sheet format, then goto Insert Object. Select, create from
file. Browse for your file and click OK. Your image will appear on
the format, you should be able to move it around by selecting on it.
It works very simuliar to Word or Excel. Also, I don't remember for
sure, but you may not be able to use JPG, BMP may work better.

Only BMP images are supported with the "Insert, Object" technique.

For other formats (JPG, PNG, TIF, etc.), open the file in another
application (i..e. Paint, Photoshop, etc.) copy to the clipboard, then paste
into your drawing.

Hope this helps.

JPG works only if you have ms office's photo editor installed. I think if
you use BMP your template files will be larger in size & thus all of you
drawing files will result in a larger size than if you use JPG.

Interesting -- didn't know that. I'll have try this, although I will
need to install it from the MS office CD.

I have ms office's photo editor. How does that help?

 

You don't have to use the MS photo editor, I use Irfan View, probably
works with several image editors/viewers. Open the pic, ctrl-C, go to
the drawing, ctrl-V.

 

Hes not saying to have to use MS Photo editor, you just have to have it
installed. For some reason, if its not installed, the image wont
copy/paste into the SolidWorks drawing. Once its installed, you can
use any photo viewer, I use ACDSEE.
