If you put the image into a sketch then you'll need to select the component in the assy and tell it to show component sketches.
Or you can do textures in view/format faces but I dont' think that's what you want.

No, its all or nothing in the assembly environment.
If you wanted the sketch to show in your draft file you can opt to just show that one.
Its an area where SE could improve - give users the option to list sketches and constructions etc in the Pathfinder.

Where would we be without sat-nav?

Hiding Sketches in the PAR doesn`t hide them in ASM.
It`s no really an option for professional drawing to work the way with deleting all the other ones.
@BMLKIDD: Where did you apply that image. In the part file (how?) and the ASM I could, but I would to it in the part.

Download the two files below:
Open the part file.
Go to Format --> Style --> Face Styles
Click on "ORTHO" - then Texture tab - point the texture to the location of the image.
Ensure that "Textures" is checked under Format -- > View
Once you've defined your face style, go to Part Painter, select your style, and then the face upon which to apply it. You may need to rotate/resize the texture to get a proper representation.

Actually Beach, I think a colleague of mine found a way around this with putting the sketches in the part on different layers and making some layers invisible/not shown or something.
I can't remember the details but I think at the assy level this allowed him to show only certain part sketches.
However, this was several years ago and my memory aint what it was.

Kenat,
Just had a look at this and there is no way to get at the layers of a part or sub-assembly while you are in the parent assembly.
What you can do, however, is create sketches on different layers in the parent assembly, or different parts of a sketch and then show and hide those layers.
So you can only show/hide layers in the active file.
Not much use really because you could just create different sketches.

Hmm, I'll have to look at one of the files when I'm back at work.
I'm pretty sure they found a way to only show the logo sketches, cause otherwise there'd be a whole lot of swept feature paths etc showing at the next level.
I think you set the layers to invisible in the part itself.

Kenat,
You are correct - putting sketches on different layers then hiding the layers in the part turns off the display of those layers at the assembly level.
I'm giving you a star.
Mind you it could be really confusing - I would have spent hours trying to figure out why a particular sketch wouldn't diplay.

I didn't say I liked or condoned it;-).
