Inserting Foreign Data

Yes, but in Pro-E that would require the ISDX module (Free form surfacing). Refer to this MCAD link Topic: how to import an image?

About Trace Sketch


You can import a sketch into Style on one of the three
default datum planes: front, top, or right, a user-defined datum plane, or a
planar surface. Using Style, you can reference and use images to model a part
within the Style feature. The referenced image or sketch is used as an underlay
for creating geometry when you manually trace the key features of the
sketch.


You can also reference a scene for creating geometry in
Style. A scene is a set of correlated images and curves created in Pro/CONCEPT.
When working with a scene, the curves are defined and maintained in the same
feature as the sketches.





To Insert a Sketch on a Default Datum Plane



  1. Click Styling > Trace Sketch. The Trace Sketch dialog box
    opens.



  2. Select any default datum plane in the Trace Sketch dialog box. The Open dialog
    box opens.



  1. Browse to the required image and select it.



  2. Click Open.



  3. The image is added to the selected datum plane
    on the screen.



  4. The name of the image is added to the name of
    the selected datum plane in the Trace Sketch dialog
    box.



  1. Click OK.

If you need help, you can email by going to my contact information on link below my signature. This tracing of an imported image can also be done in SolidWorks as well.

if you dont have ISDX which most people dont, you can create a fill surface and then apply a DECAL in color and appearance on that surface
