Inventor: How to place an image across multiple surfaces

Anonymous

I understand the process for placing an image on a single surface in Inventor, but I am interested in placing the image so it covers multiple surfaces on a part.

Even better would be to place the image on multiple parts of an assembly.  I would like the art to wrap the assembly so each individual part will include just its portion of the image.  Is this an option in Inventor?  If not, is there another program with this capability?

Hello @Anonymous,

Create a sketch and insert the image, finish, share the sketch.

Try with multiple Decal and select face one by one. Refer more from below video -

Hello @Anonymous!

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the Inventor Forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

In the Screencast from @Xun.Zhang you can see that you just need to create new decals for the surfaces.

 

If the post from @Xun.Zhang answers your question, please mark it as solution so other users can benefit from that.

 

Thanks!

Here's a version with a decal upon multiple faces, that have been stitched together. In this sample, they are only cylindrical, but complex faces can be used, too.

It's a separate part, but only parts of the decal on single faces should be possible, too. I didn't try it.
