imported image quality

[adclark1983]

Hi,

I am trying to import images into a sketch to use as a template.

I've tried importing pdf, jpeg, png and the quality is so bat that it is barely usable (in particular it is almost impossible to read the markings on the attached scale. 

for some reason pasting the image into a word document and importing that into the sketch seems to work reasonably well. unfortunately I need to do this several hundred times so adding the word step is rather time consuming.

can someone explain why importing from word improves the results, and is there another (simpler) way to achieve similar results?

any assistance is greatly appreciated

Hi,

What picture format you use? Is you picture with background transparent? What Invertor version you use?

[adclark1983]

Inventor version 2022

I've tried .jpg .pdf .png the results are always terrible.

But loading any of them into .docx before inserting into inventor makes the quality good.

What about background transparency?

Top picture is without transparency, bottom is with transparency

[adclark1983]

The transparency option is greyed out, isn't that for exporting images?

[nedeljko.sovljanski]

Your picture has property, or it was created with transparent background or without.

The image has a flat (white or green background)

Id rather not have to edit the images since that would probably involve significantly more time than converting them to word documents. I'm really just looking for a way to achieve that level of quality directly from the basic image.

Can you share that image with me?

[adclark1983]

[adclark1983]

These are just example images, I can't share the proper ones. The pixilation on the pdf completely removes many of the scale lines and small features on the image.

What is what here? First is docx and second is pdf?

Try with my picture.

[adclark1983]

yes, first image is the docx (with the pdf copied into the document as an image) second is the same image imported just as a pdf.
