AxiDraw Merge is a software tool that is available to AxiDraw owners upon request. It 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 is a new software tool that is currently under development. 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.

AxiDraw Merge[edit]

AxiDraw Merge is a software tool that is available to AxiDraw owners upon request. It 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.

AxiDraw owners who would like to request access to this software may do so through our contact form.
