Calling Lantek Expert Users

Hello, I call on the designers who also use Lantek Expert for Laser programming. There is no Lantek forum on the net so I hope to find my answer here. I have a problem when I print the workshop sheet (pdf), in the top left corner I added the logo of the company where I work but suddenly it doesn't print anymore, even though it has always worked before. I renamed a bitmap image Acercade.bmp and saved it in the same place as the default Lantek logo. (C:\Lantek\Expert\Bitmaps) when you print the workshop sheet this way you see the LOGO of your choice. I wonder why it appears in Lantek when I do a preview but it doesn't appear on the pdf of the report that Lantek created? Do you have any ideas? See attached photo. Thank you.

Hello @laser_2 

I found a question that could perhaps offer you some food for thought about your problem: https://www.lynkoa.com/forum/autocad/lantek-expert 

If not, and from my research, it seems to me that @Bart☺ use (or used?) Lantek if you ever want to send him a message! 

Have a nice day

I had this problem while updating the software.

Is the new logo the same size as the old one?

I'll look at work tomorrow;)

After a trial, it works for me.

I replaced the Acercade.bmp file with one with our company logo.

At home, I placed it in C:/Lantek/EasyPunch/BITMAPS/Acercade.bmp and everything prints correctly.

Remember to respect the case, you never know...^^

Thank you Bart, I too replaced the original file with an image of our company logo in the same format in bitmap. It always worked except one morning for no apparent reason you can't see the logo anymore when printing. Yet the file is still in its place in: C:\Lantek\Expert\Bitmaps

Will I need to repair the installation CD/DVD? 

 

I avoid touching the installation of Lantek, from experience, I have always found it very difficult to install....

If you're comfortable with installing Lantek, there's nothing stopping you from doing so.

The question to ask yourself is: Is it really vital to have this logo? The ratio of time spent searching to the desired result.

What is the version of your Lantek?

yes I don't like this tendency of Lantek to lose its parameters, once the cutting time of the printed report was 3x higher than normal, the Lantek tech had done a software repair. Now the Logo. it's not necessary but nice to have the Logo on the printed reports. The version of my Lantek is 2018, I am due for an updated version. 

If it replaces your logo with the base image, it means that it exists somewhere.

You must have made the wrong folder, look for the acercade file in other folders, you must have another one.

The Gif file is for the launch image of the software, you can also put your company's logo on it.

Keep me informed;)

Could it be that the culprit is a Windows update? I did the last Windows update= and suddenly my logo came back. However, the day before, he was not present during my impressions. I'm sure it must have been because of that. My problem is solved, thank you for trying to help me.
