How to insert an Image into a SOLIDWORKS Drawing

Images are typically inserted into a SOLIDWORKS drawing or sheet format using the commands:

  • Insert > Object > Create from File
  • Tools > Sketch Tools > Sketch Picture

If the image does not get inserted or the image resolution is not good, I usually suggest trying to insert the image using Windows copy and paste commands.

Insert Object

In the example seen here, the first attempt to insert an image as an object created from a .png file did not work; instead of a logo, only its file name was inserted.

As a workaround, the logo was copied directly from the image editor (Ctrl-C) and pasted into the SOLIDWORKS drawing (Ctrl-V).

The border around the logo was removed by right-clicking on it and selecting Properties > Sharpen Zoomed State.
