Specifying Resources

Use the Resources Specification window to provide the location of print resources that the graphic viewer needs to display the print stream properly. Examples of resources include fonts and (for Metacode print streams) logo files.

Note: Font files must not have a file extension. Remove the extension from the file name before using it with Visual Engineer.

To access this window, open a control file and then select Options > Resources.

The following fields and buttons are available:

  • Search Directory: Specifies the directory that contains the resource you want to make available to the graphic viewer.
  • Browse: Click this button to browse the file system and select the directory that contains the resource you want.
  • Add: Click this button to add the path in the Search Directory field to the library collection.
  • Resources List: Lists all of the current directories in the user library.
  • Remove: Click this button to remove the highlighted item from the Resources List field.
  • Up: Moves the selected resource up in the order of precedence. The resources listed in the Resources List field are searched in the order shown.
  • Down: Moves the selected resource down in the order of precedence. The resources listed in the Resources List field are searched in the order shown.
