Is it possible to add an image/logo as a watermark In SW 2018.

Karl O'Toole May 14, 2018 4:28 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to add the company logo to my drawing sheet as a watermark. I have successfully brought it in scaled it up and placed it on it's own layer. However,

when I try and turn the layer off the images remains visible. Is there something I must do to fix this as I've notice I can't place it behind the sheet but it does not block any drawing views.

Thanks in advance

Hi Karl,
I don't know if things are different in SW2018 but have you read this article?
WATERMARK ON DRAWING
I know that you've said that you have already created your watermark, but the link I've given just might ensure that you have done it correctly and therefore eliminate further issues.

Further to that, there are many threads on the forum regarding watermarks, and these can easily be found just by using the magnifying glass (top right corner of the home screen) and then using the appropriate keywords.

Best of luck.

Dave.

Karl,

I'd recommend having two separate sheet formats, one with the watermark and one without. It's very easy to switch back and forth, even with multiple sheets.
