Running update
Running update allows you to change a logo during print, without doing any programming. This
happens through special directory "Update", for example c:\Program Files\OBJ INKdraw\update\
Commonly, you would use shared network drives to copy files directly from one (windows)
computer to another, but the function works just as well by using for example an ftp server (not
included with OBJ INKdraw).
The important factor is the object name of the logo. If a BMP file is copied to the update directory
with the same name as the logo object name, the new BMP file will be used.
Example: Your logo is called pallet. (object name). Now, if you copy a BMP file to pallet.bmp in the
update directory, this file will be loaded instead.
Update logo function works similarly to the "buffer picture" function.
•
Notice that OBJ INKdraw does not scale the logo based on the file. Instead, the
object dimensions are used. All logos used this way should be same size (x,y)
Ideas for "Update function"
•
Generate things from other programs that OBJ INKdraw can't do - example: special barcodes,
special text (like mirror, special fonts, non-western text,…)
•
Import from other programs such as acrobat, Codesoft, etc.
•
Scanning applications - where you "load" a strip of an image with every print.
