I had the same question, but was beaten to it!
So stolen from Solidworks community and posted here :-)))))
Can you emulate a globe in SolidWorks? Using a *.jpg "decal" of a world map, how do you wrap it and get the edges to match at the poles? And if possible, how do you do this so it is viewable in an e-drawing?
