hello everyone!

Does anyone know how to "ask NX" for an empty, or less populated, area of a drawing ?

I have developed a journal, which reads data from an excel, and assigns this data to a tabular note with attributes (stamp), which I then insert in the drawing, and print in pdf. (the journal runs over 100s of files)


These drawings are "customer drawings", (I can't change them) so I just print them (pdf, dxf) with the stamp.


The problem is that am putting the stamp in a fix point of the sheets, (let's say in 5,5,0), but many times in this point there are texts, or views.

I have tried to put a background to my stamp without success (images, shading...).
(a workaround to this solution could also work for me)


So I decided to ask if anyone knows how to insert the stamp in the "less populated area" (empty if exists) of the drawing.
I only need a hint... !

thank you all very much!
