Happy New Year to you all!
When creating extrusions and revolutions there are a few quick tips that you might not be aware of that can often remove a few steps out of your design. If you are working with cylindrical shapes the Extrude To/From option can help you from having to create multiple operations. Take a look at the profile below that is created on the parts origin and extruding from one surface to another. ...

Add more to your model

Images are great to be able to add to your model to make it look a little nicer and add realistic detail although at times I am guessing you need to add more than images. If you need to add a lot of text information to your model for things like specifications or assembly instructions, you may want to insert a MS Word or Excel document. Using the standard Insert image work flow, you can insert both an Excel or Word document as well as many other formats.
First, open a model you want to insert a document into and create a sketch that will allow you to insert it into your model. You can then select Insert Image from the 2D Sketch Panel. From the drop-down you can select from a number of file formats such as Excel and Word.

Here is an image of Word document that I want to embed into a motor to add specifications similar to a decal I might add to the real motor.

Once you have selected a Word or Excel file, you can insert it into the sketch and scale/position it where you want.

If you want to embed this image into the model similar to a sticker you can then use the Decal Feature from the Part Feature Panel to wrap it to a face. Select the Decal Feature then select the image and face you want it to wrap to.
You can then select OK and voila!
