Using images for submodels

images for submodels

using images

You can use an image in addition to the normal bitmap for a submodel. This can enhance the appearance and personalize the sketch of the system. When selecting an image, you should consider the following points:

• Most common image formats image formats can be used.

• Compare your selected image to the bitmap you are using for the component. The image will be resized to be the same width and height as the bitmap, and the ports will be in the same position as on the bitmap. Is the aspect ratio (width/height) of the image similar to that of the bitmap? If not, the image will be distorted, and it is unlikely to enhance your sketch. You may be able to correct this problem as follows:

Crop the image with a suitable image processing tool.

Change the bitmap.
