applying vectorized image to solids

[craignicklanovich4503]

I need to apply an image to a 3d solid or surface. The artwork is typically vectorized.  I have the latest version of illustrator and AutoCAD 2017.

How can this be achieved. Is the material mapping the way to go?  And what file formats work best?

Thanks ahead of time.
