The Sketch Picture command uses image formats like JPG, PNG, or BMP files. The key to this technique is the fact that the drawing is fully dimensioned, so I know what the actual sizes are based on the drawing. I obtained a PDF of a 1962 Vintage Fender Stratocaster. Notice that the drawing is complete with fully dimensioned standard and section views. To begin my design in SOLIDWORKS, I am only interested in the front view. Let's take a look at a technique I used to create a 3D model of my guitar in SOLIDWORKS, but rather than getting out my calipers and tape measure to reverse engineer it, I will start with a PDF, extract information from it as an image, and use a Sketch Picture to hold that information for reference when creating the features of the body. it would save you a lot of time, and that would be awesome! In this blog, you will learn a mind-blowing yet simple technique that will save you time going from PDF to 3D in SOLIDWORKS!
Do you have a PDF of a drawing that you would like to bring in to SOLIDWORKS? Perhaps you have legacy data or client information that you need to convert to 3D, and all you have is a PDF. If you could just bring that information into SOLIDWORKS.
