Is there any way I can import a jpg file in to a surfcam demo?

I don't know of a way to get a jpeg directly into Surfcam, I think you'd need a raster to vector program to do that. There are graphics programs that will export jpegs as DXF files, which will work for flat files. I have used Solidworks to bring in a jpeg, then create a sketch over it and get a model that way, and of course, Surfcam is fully associative to Solidworks files.

How do you get the jpeg file into solidworks?

I'm using Solidworks 2008

Would be cool to do some engravings of some pictures..etc.
