Updated LogoMaker code

eDave

Thanks to an idea from William, I have updated the code so that your distributed users can run the code without installing LFC. Just place another the variable (LFC_PATH) in their environment variables that points to the network installation. You will also need to move the contents of the network LEADCMD\Bin folder to the level up.

Cheers, Dave

    This is an excellent utility, great work by Dave.

    I added a small change for my use which was to add an "OR" for the LFC_PATH so that the Allegro environment does not have to be changed to run.

    Hi Shiva,

    Sorry for the late reply - I have been on leave.

     There are two reasons that the "Place  Logo" button could be not enabled.

    You must select an image file - the name will appear in the "Symbol Name" text area.

    The plugins must all be in place - potrace, mkbitmap and lfc

     Cheers, Dave

     Thanks Dave. Some times i couldn't load some image files whether it has same extension, and the loaded image has not converted to a logo. It faced some errors. And please confirm the path of potrace, mkbitmap and lfc file's in the screen shot. Please help. I'm new for skill.

    Thanks,

    Shiva.
