Hi,
 What are all the graphic types (bmp, jpg, gif, etc.) that the WO traveler can print. Can the report be modified to print a vector file such as dxf or pdf?
 
Thanks
 
Jim

Jim,
 
  The Currently supported graphic types in an EVO RTM are as follows:
 
            
         * Tiff Images (*.tif, *.tiff)
        * GFI Fax Images (*.fax)
        * SGI Images (*.bw,*.rgb,*.rgba,*.sgi)
        * Autodesk Image Files (*.cel,*.pic)
        * Truevision Images (*.tga, *.vst, *.icb, *.vda, *.win)
        * ZSoft Paintbrush Images (*.pcx,*.pcc)
        * Word 5.x Screen Capture Files (*.scr)
        * Kodak Photo-CD images (*.pcd)
        * Portable pixel/gray map images (*.ppm,*.pgm,*.pbm)
        * Dr. Halo images (*.cut, *.pal)
        * SGI Wavefront images (*.rla, *.rpf)
        * Photoshop images (*.psd, *.pdd)
        * Paintshop Pro images (*.psp)  
 
     We are looking at a 3rd party addon that will allow us to print .xls , .doc, .pdf and .dxf files. It is just a matter of devoting the time to finish this project.
 

We are also looking to attach Microsoft Office or .pdf's type files to the RTM's (WO's, PO's, Packing slips, etc.) to support a more robust manufacturing process and to eliminate disjointed systems.  
 
For example, we are looking to have a document print at the time of the packing slip that would describe the customer's explicit shipping instructions.  This might be several pages long.  Another example, we are looking at possibly printing our item specifications at the time we print or email a PO to a vendor.
 
Since we are using Word and Excel, it will be critical to our future growth that those formats are supported.  Although we have the ability to convert to .pdf format, the extra step and file storage space is not preferable.
 
Any way to get this subject moved up on the list?
 
Thanks,
Karen

Ask and you shall receive... PDF printing support from both Classic and EVO is now here for the traveler. It will be in this weeks post...
 
 I am looking into a way to get EVO to print anything windows can print. ie if you right click on a file (.doc .xls . dxf .wmf .pdf....) there is a print option. In Evo I think I can access this call to windows. Not however in Classic so if you want this ability you will need to be in Evo.
 

Allen,
 
No matter what Lorne thinks, we appreciate your commitment to continuous improvement.
 
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
 
Holy crap. I was just poking a bit of fun at Allen. Loosen up a bit. Trust me, he is a big boy and can certainly take it. Actually he has a really good sense of humor. Although, there were one or 2 times he got me GOOD, before....

Hey, John, I knew we could convince you eventually.  Now we just need to address your scheduling issues and there will never be a reason to move to NG...Let me ponder that one a bit...
