Import Logo Tool
What it Does
Puts your own logo or brand image on every size of a grading set at once. Use this when you want your name or brand printed on all the sizes of a pattern.
The logo is the same size on every size. It is placed where the point you click lands on each size. The image is saved inside the draft file, so the logo shows every time you open the draft or make a PDF. The draft keeps only one copy of the image, however many sizes carry the logo.
The logo file can be 200 KB at most. If it is larger you will be asked to choose a smaller file. Large images make the draft file bigger and slow down saving and making PDFs. For the best results, use a PNG with a transparent background, resized close to the size you want it printed.
