AxiDraw Merge is a new software tool that is available to AxiDraw owners upon request. Its function is to allow a variety of "mail merge" operations, with certain restrictions. It can substitute data from a spreadsheet file into your SVG template, perform single-stroke font substitution upon the resulting document, and then plot the page. It can even automatically merge and plot a sequence of pages with simply a fixed time delay between pages. It also features the ability to add certain "handwriting like" defects to your text to make it look less robotic and more handwritten.

AxiDraw Merge[edit]

AxiDraw Merge is a software tool that combines the functions of our Hershey Advanced and AxiDraw Control software. It can render text into handwriting-like stroke fonts, optionally add certain "handwriting like" defects to your text, and plot the document in a single step. You can render and plot subsequent pages after a single button press or time delay.

AxiDraw Merge can also perform of "mail merge" operations, substituting data from a spreadsheet file into your SVG template, replacing and updating that data each time that it prints a new page.

Hershey Advanced and AxiDraw Merge have been superseded by NextDraw Merge and the Bantam Tools Stroke Font Utility, which are available for purchase here.
