I need to imprint an image/logo on the curved surface of a solid. Is it possible in AutoCAD?

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I asked whether there is a way to imprint an image, jpg or png on the surface of a solid. All these are geometric bjects rather than an image.

There is no ability in the program to do that with Raster images: they are flat and 2D, so you need to find a workaround with a solid of the same size then with on placement of your image. But them will remain separate objects.

Maybe you need to use your image as a material on that object instead? That you can do in AutoCAD
