Creating an Image in a Drawing using the API

crummyhcrummyh Member Posts: 2

Hello!

I am working on a basic app for part management (it's more of an idea right now), and I need to be able to insert an image into a drawing for part of it. This image would vary drawing to drawing, so could not be part of a template or anything. I have looked through the Drawing API Guild (https://onshape-public.github.io/docs/api-adv/drawings/), the API Explorer, and the Drawing Schemas (https://github.com/onshape-public/onshapedrawingjson/tree/master), but couldn't find anything. I tried creating a simple drawing with just an image, but it was missing in the JSON representation:

{
    "sheets": [
        {
            "active": true,
            "annotations": [],
            "format": "",
            "index": 1.0,
            "name": "Sheet1",
            "reference": "",
            "scale": {
                "denumerator": 1.0,
                "numerator": 0.0,
                "scaleSource": "Custom"
            },
            "size": "A",
            "titleBlock": {},
            "views": []
        }
    ]
}

How do I add an image, or even see what images are there?

    There is a specific documentation page for the drawings API:
    https://onshape-public.github.io/docs/api-adv/drawings/

    I don't believe adding images to drawings is currently supported.
