How to make a copy of the Default Border...

[gene.buckle]

I'm trying to create a watermark for our prints.  I've been able to successfully create the new border with the watermark image on it, but in the process I lose the border features that are in the Default Border.

I've been unsuccessful in attempting to find any mechanism where that Default Border can be copied.  It can't be copied in the Inventor (2021) UI, it can't be edited in the UI, it can't be edited in iLogic, and it can't even be copied in iLogic.  (The Sketch property in the Default Border is always Nothing.)

Is what I'm trying to do even possible?  If so, I could sure use some help here - ideally I want to make the copy via iLogic.

Thanks folks!

Hi @gene.buckle.  The 'default' border in a new drawing is generated for you, based on the specifications you dictate, to meet your needs, so it is not like other custom borders that already have a sketch and geometry.  You can create your own multiple custom border definitions and have them available in the template drawing you start from, then they will already exist, have a sketch, and can be copied and manipulated as needed.

So basically, "can't be done". 😉

Thanks!

I got around the issue by creating my watermark as a SketchedSymbol and then added that to the active sheet.
