Place decal on assembly component

When a decal must span a seam across parts in an assembly, create a thin-walled part the same size as the decal.

  1. In the assembly file, right-click, and then select Place Component. Browse to the appropriate directory, select the part file containing the decal, and then click OK.
  2. On the Assemble tab, add work features as necessary to assist with decal placement.
  3. On the ribbon, click Assemble tab Position panel Constrain to add assembly constraints as necessary to position the decal.

If you prefer, convert an assembly to a derived part, and then apply the decal to the part.

Note: If you use the decal in multiple assemblies, you can create iMates to simplify positioning the decal.
