Hi Everyone,
I am currently working with clients and providing them with working drawings and also the DWG file.
In the DWG file I have the image of my company logo on each layout drawing. However, my fear is that someone can delete this whenever they want from the DWG file so nobody will know my company did the work and that we exist!
Is there a way to permanently embed this into the DWG file?
I`ve already pasted it in without having to have the image picture in a folder with the DWG file but this can stilll be deleted.
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps 🙂
Regards,
James
Based on this... I don't think so
Hi,
I doubt that is possible in AutoCAD.
Hi,
>> In the DWG file I have the image of my company logo
If you have that multiple times, then please create one time a logo as AutoCAD block, images need more resources, are less performant to handle and can create other issues too.
In most cases there exist a vector file from your graphic designer (EPS or something like that) that can be imported, or you take a bit of time and create this as AutoCAD drawing from scratch, it's much easier then to use in the future.
But one is correct, also the titleblock can be removed or the content of the model-space copied to another dwg-file, so contract between partners is what can you protect.

Maybe a slightly different approach but it could help - not a visible image object (which could be easily deleted) but rather an invisible permanent signature inside a DWG file, so you can prove you are the original author. See https://www.cadstudio.cz/dwgsign

Hopefully you're getting paid extra to provide the DWG files and getting them to sign a release. Otherwise, why wouldn't a PDF work for your client?
