JPG and Alibre - a match?

[ecoology]

I would like to "glue" a JPG to a surface on a part I have made. Is that even conceivable?
If not, any indirect way to get a picture on a part surface?
If so, how?

Depends on what you want it for.

As of right now you can only add images to the 3D model for "tracing" but I don't think they show up in drawings. You could try taking a screenshot of the 3D model and adding that image to the drawing. Or you could try aligning an image over the top of the model view in the drawing.

However if you want to emboss/deboss the image then check out ZSurf.

Sounds like something to do in photo-rendering software (Keyshot does it using 'labels' ).
