Importing logos into an Ocad map

Postby seabird » Mon Mar 06, 2006 7:43 pm

Does anyone know if it is possible to import a jpeg logo into an Ocad map. And if so - how.

One way is to open the jpeg file as a template. This then shows up on the screen and when you print it, but you can't edit it. Works fine, and it's how I add school logos to maps I have done.

It's not possible to convert -the only way is just as simon says -you can import as template and print. A .jpg is a flattened image while an ocad map is a series of data -(vectors with attributes). Its possible to go from ocad to jpg but not the other way round!

But if you are printing (say) a JK map using spot printing that won't work. Simple logos (such as Craft and YHA) are easily copied into OCAD format more complex ones are a nightmare.

Might be easier/quicker to revert to the original sense of cut and paste.
