Re: How to cut image out of Sheet metal
In inventor 2013 there is an option to insert an image in sketch mode. Here is a screen cap.

Edit: Facepalm, you are already doing this.

For the team number you can do it using the text function in Inventor.
For an image, you can have a program export a series of X, Y values that inventor can then import from a spreadsheet. I have done this one other time, but I don't remember how. It's just a thought to try out.

Good luck
