Security Overlay | ||
| ||
When you work with suppliers to review a mock-up, you might want to warn these partners that some parts have a certain level of confidentiality. Displaying an overlay enables you to do that.
The overlay works for both 2D and 3D documents, and is also taken into account during capture and print. It is also visible in no show space.
The Security Overlay tab page enables you to:
- define the text that should be displayed
- define the graphical properties and layout of the text
- activate / deactivate the overlay
Each setting can be locked by the administrator.
