Introduction to Watermarks
Watermarks appear in the background of a file such as a document or drawing, displaying helpful or critical information about that file.
Watermarks can be applied from user-defined information, system attributes (such as time and date) or PDM attributes (such as release status).
Watermarks allow you to view watermarks online as a transparent underlay to the object being viewed. E-watermarks are text or bitmap files and work only with 3D models and 2D drawings, including HPGL, CAD and CGM drawings.
After creating a watermark, users should see the watermark as a background to the viewed or printed object. There are limits to what file types can display/print watermarks. In general the following applies to both Creo View and Illustrate:
Display Watermarks
Drawings (HPGL, PLT, DWG, DXF and CGM)
3D Models
PDF files
Print Watermarks
All files that can be viewed in both Creo View and Creo Illustrate
About Watermark Files
Each specific watermark file (.ini file) can contain information for watermarks used on each Creo View object type. There are five Creo View object types that can have specific watermarks applied:
Drawing: HPGL, DWG, DXF, PLT, CGM
3D Model: OL
Image: GIF, JPG, TIFF, BMP
Text: TXT, DOC, XLS, PPT, PDF
Markup: Creo View Markup files
For different object types, there can be different watermark information in a single watermark .ini file. You may only view one object at a time while editing.
Watermarks an contain various types of information based on the object type they are applied to. This information is called “Page Primitives”. There are two different types of Page primitives:
Labels — Text and Special Tokens which allow variable substitution
Images — BMP files only
