In regards to watermarks..

 

1.  Is there any way to tighten up the spacing on the watermarks?

2.  Is there any way to change the colors so it darker or even like red?

 

Thanks

I don't see anyway to edit the one's in place. You may can create your own?

Great question Jonathan.

 

I would appreciate an enhancement in the water mark category.  Your two questions have been asked repeatedly by builders of mine.

I put a watermark on my drawings using Foxit and Adobe. Foxit is a very good PDF editor and affordable. I don't care for the way Softplan does the watermarks.

You can't tighten up the spacing or use colour as far as I can tell. I tried using a colour on the text, but once it's a symbol it seems to revert to standard symbol colour, and you can't edit it as a symbol. Didn't try to edit the symbol in the library, so you may be able to edit it that way. Must do some more experimentation!

 

You can't tighten up the spacing, but if you make your own custom text (Custom font and size), you can make the font big enough to fill the spaces more.

I don't use watermarks, but lately wine marks are what I've been using.

On second thought.

I have not used the watermark feature but I think this would work.  Create a drawing using the color, style etc. the way you would like it to look.  Set up your sheet the drop your "watermark" drawing on top of each sheet.  It's not automatic but it should work and you would have total control over the details rather than limited.
