To make a long story short, we extract silhouette images of instrumentation (hand tools, basically) from CAD data, arrange these on a sheet metal surface, and design bracketry around this layout. Once these images go from a vector format to TIFF, they become unusable for referencing...

I have SW 2001 Plus so I have access to PhotoWorks but I have not yet investigated the decal functionality. Will decals show up only in rendered scenes or can they be saved on a part and show up in detail drawings?
I have sent in an enhancement request re. this issue. Any other...
To clarify, cosmetic features in Pro/E display properly in all but shaded mode, where they are visible all the time. In drawings and assemblies, their display is realistic based on display mode, intervening parts, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I have explored these options and they work okay for text if I don't mind "engraving" what are typically silk screened sheet metal parts. However, this really slows things down if you have a lot of text and doesn't solve the problem of graphic...
I am new to Solidworks but have extensive Pro/E experience. Is there a SW2001 Plus feature or function equivalent to the "cosmetic feature or "datum curve" of Pro/E?
My product design workflow often requires development of a silk screened graphic early on. This graphic is then...
