![]() ![]() The first time around I created a jpeg file from a pdf file using the Snipping Tool. PTC/Creo has so much ability but very little instruction on how to use this powerful tool. Modern technology is sometimes lacking, lol! I guess the best way is to using the old Drafting Dividers, Pencil, and scale then input manually into Creo. I try it that way and it screws everything up. On You Tube someone is creating a Toyota 86 and he aligns it first along horizontal and then vertical. The other thing is making sure the aspect ration is correct. I am using the Images Tools under, model display in the View Tab. ![]() I would not mind so much except I am trying to trace an airfoil shape of a wing and it needs to be close to within 1/8" of an inch. However, when I go to sketch to trace the image under the Extrude Feature, the accuracy is off by sometimes an inch. In Creo, I attach the image to a plane and go to FIT>Horizontal then on the graphics area a redline appears and I put one point on one end of the dimension and the other point on the opposite end and it scales the image. ![]() In AutoCAD I bring in the image, go to a dimension and drawing a horizontal line equal to the dimension on the print, then align it to the end points. If a drawing (image) is 22x34 and the scale is 1:4, then my sketch to create a model is going to be 1/4 the real size. I understand what you are says about sketching the rectangle and then align it by the image outline but that still does not solve the scaling issue of the drawing. ![]()
