Hi Everyone,

I created a watermark using the watermark editor, Currently, I added a manual way in Creo View Is there any other method in Windchill?

Like once we add in Windchill, another user can see when they open in Creo View without adding the .ini file in Creo View is it possible?

Thanks in Advance,

Amir

Hi @Amirtharaj_K

btw, your preference xml file does not contain configuration for ini files.

this is the reason why it does not work for you

Hi @Amirtharaj_K

Yes it is possible, you need to set visualization configuration to force users to use the Windchill configuration

CS35006 - How to configure the use of watermarks in Creo View, based on CAD Document lifecycle states in Windchill PDMLink

Create server-side watermarks in Windchill PDMLink server:

Browse to Creo View preferences location in Windows Explorer; default path is %APPDATA%\PTC\ProductView
Rename file user_prefs.xml to server_prefs.xml
Launch the Windchill Visualization Configuration Administration utility from the target Windchill Context Utilities
Create a WVS Configuration and upload the server_prefs.xml, wmk000#.ini and Stamp related *.bmp files to it (can also be done using a Zip file containing the same files

Thanks, Mr. Peter
I followed your steps and did everything, I got a watermark on the Server end. But if I open it in the User machine I can't see the watermark, After I added the ini file on that machine I could see it.

Please find the attachment.
