11.8.1 Hershey Advanced
Hershey Advanced is a more capable version of Hershey Text.
Like Hershey Text, Hershey Advanced performs font substitution in your doc-
ument, replacing text composed of regular computer fonts with plotter-ready
stroke-based lettering. It also oers the ability to introduce subtle “handwrit-
ing-like” defects, to help break the appearance of computer-generated writing.
11.8.2 AxiDraw Merge
AxiDraw Merge is software designed to automate certain workflows on the Axi-
Draw, and encompasses the primary capabilities of both AxiDraw Control and
Hershey Advanced.
AxiDraw Merge can in a single step perform stroke-font substitution on your
document using Hershey Advanced (complete with handwriting-like defects) and
plot it on the AxiDraw.
You can also use AxiDraw Merge to automatically populate a template with data
sourced from a CSV (spreadsheet) file, perform font substitution using Hershey
Advanced, plot the document, and repeat with data from specified rows of your
CSV file.
