Re: How to add a company logo or a marking seregraphy with "Allegro PCB Design"
HI,
I think we should check the "logoMaker_public.il" script file version, because for each version, you have the tools to download and configure.
As an example, see attached we have two different statement for two different versions.
Note :to open the "logoMaker_public.il" file use the Bloc-note or notepad++ /.
Version N°1 :
;============================================================================
;
; Installation instructions:
; Download and install the latest precompiled potrace release suitable for your platform:
;
**broken link removed**
; set the POTRACE_PATH environment variable to the path to the executable
; eg. C:\utils\potrace
; If using Program Files folder (not advised) use [drive letter]:\Progra~1\potrace
;
; Download and install the latest precompiled ImageMagick release suitable for your platform
; This may not be necessary if you use Linux as ImageMagick is often included in Linux installations:
; http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php"
; eg. **broken link removed**

; eg. C:\utils\ImageMagick\ImageMagick-6.5.1-3
