Watermark Parameters
The following parameters define the methods for defining Watermarks to be added to drawings. These parameters work for both SVG and PDF output, but not for Raster output.
| Watermark Parameters |
|
| WM_CONTENT |
Content of the watermark |
| WM_LAYOUT |
AutoCAD Layout, default is ModelSpace |
| WM_ANCHOR |
Handle of line or point to define position |
| WM_X |
Horizontal (X) position |
| WM_Y |
Vertical (Y) position |
| WM_ANGLE |
Text angle (assume radians, append a ’d’ for degrees) |
| WM_FONTSTYLE |
TextStyle Font Style to use |
| WM_COLOR |
AutoCAD Color Index |
| WM_RGB |
Color by RGB values |
The basic call for the Customer Watermark: -wm_con=“Plot created on/P$$$sysdate$$$” -wm_layout=plan - wm_anchor=90B23A5 -wm_height=6 -wm_x=10 -wm_y=5 -wm_angle=30d
Note: for parameters listed with [] in the command, the part before the brackets is required, but pretty much anything could be used after the requires part and still work. So - wm_continent would work for Content, since it starts with the required -wm_con.
Note: Parameters and JSON Names are case non-sensitive
Content
| PARAMETER |
WM_CONTENT |
| Purpose |
This parameter specifies the contents of the watermark to be displayed. To create a multiple line string then use a line feed, /P, in the string. |
| Example |
-WM_CONTENT=“This is a/Pmulti-line watermark” |
| JSON |
{“WM_CONTENT”:“This is a/Pmulti-line watermark”} |
| Usage |
-WM_CON[TENT] |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
Layout
| PARAMETER |
WM_LAYOUT |
| Purpose |
This parameter specifies the AutoCAD Layout to place the Watermark in. The default is ModelSpace |
| Example |
-WM_LAYOUT=“Paper1” |
| JSON |
{“WM_LAYOUT”:“Paper1”} |
| Usage |
-WM_LAY[OUT] |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
Anchor
| PARAMETER |
WM_ANCHOR |
| Purpose |
This parameter specifies the Handle of a line or point to uses to position the watermark. If WM_X and WM_Y are also used, then they define offsets from this anchor element. |
| Example |
-WM_ANCHOR=“A1B” |
| JSON |
{“WM_ANCHOR”:“B44C”} |
| Usage |
-WM_ANC[HOR] |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
Horizontal Position
| PARAMETER |
WM_X |
| Purpose |
This parameter specifies the horizontal location of the start of the watermark. If the value is followed by % then it specifies the percentage of the width from the left border. If such percentage is negative, then it is from the right border. |
| Example |
-WM_X=10% |
| JSON |
{“WM_X”:44} |
| Usage |
-WM_X |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
Vertical Position
| PARAMETER |
WM_Y |
| Purpose |
This parameter specifies the vertical location of the start of the watermark. If the value is followed by % then it specifies the percentage of the height from the lower border. If such percentage is negative, then it is from the top border. |
| Example |
-WM_Y=10% |
| JSON |
{“WM_Y”:44} |
| Usage |
-WM_Y |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
Angle
| PARAMETER |
WM_ANGLE |
| Purpose |
This parameter specifies any rotation angle for the watermark. By default the angle is in radians, but if there is a “d” appended then the value is in degrees. The angle is counterclockwise from the horizontal axis. |
| Example |
-WM_ANGLE=10 |
| JSON |
{“WM_ANGLE”: -45} |
| Usage |
-WM_ANG[LE] |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
Fontstyle
| PARAMETER |
WM_FONTSTYLE |
| Purpose |
This parameter the AutoCAD fontstyle to be used for the text. This does not define a font, but rather a text style. |
| Example |
-WM_FONTSTYLE=“MYSTYLE” |
| JSON |
{“WM_FONTSTYLE”: “ROMANS”} |
| Usage |
-WM_FONT[STYLE] |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
Color Index
| PARAMETER |
WM_COLOR |
| Purpose |
This parameter the AutoCAD Color Index (0 to 255) to be used for the watermark |
| Example |
-WM_COLOR=9 |
| JSON |
{“WM_COLOR”: “127”} |
| Usage |
-WM_COL[OR] |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
RGB Color
| PARAMETER |
WM_RGB |
| Purpose |
This parameter the Red, Green and Blue (RGB) values for the color. Each value is defined between 0 and 255. |
| Example |
-WM_RGB=“0, 255, 127)” |
| JSON |
{“WM_RGB”: “(255, 0, 255)”} |
| Usage |
-WM_RGB |
| Use |
With SVG and PDF Only |
