Image as a wall covering

I just started at a trade show company and a lot of their clients are requesting drawings showing their approved wall covering graphics on their trade show booth in various isometric views. The files I have are jpeg files. I am working in AutoCAD 2026.

I started with using IMAGEATTACH but I was spending a lot of time in the DRAWORDER command trying to clarify what was above and below each other. This seemed to get me halfway to what I wanted to achieve. Spent about an hour trying to find forum that covered this. Checked a bunch of system variables along the way as well.

Create a material using your image.

Type MATERIALS and start with a material that already has an image assigned to it. Grey Speckled is a good place to start. Duplicate that material and give it a new name, then right click and Edit the image. You can adjust the scaling, offset, etc. in the image editor.

Create a thin box that will use the new material. I usually assign the materials by layer, so create a layer for LOGO, then set the box and assign that material to that layer. Adjust as necessary.
