Applying decals or silkscreen to parts

[J_King]

Is there a capability to add silkscreen or decal artwork to parts that are designed in Alibre? Many of my parts are silkscreened cosmetic parts and it would be nice to integrate that artwork into the part views. The files that the artwork is created in is SVG or scalable vector graphic files but can be PDF or PNG as well if that makes a difference.

Any hints?

You can't import them as graphic images in Alibre, but you can create the effect (in above links). You can add graphic labels in KeyShot very easily to surfaces (if you have Pro or Expert).

Yes, I used to do this in Keyshot. Haven't needed to do it in a long while and I recall it being a bit of a fiddle.
