Restrictions applying to OLE objects in Allplan

There are some particular issues to bear in mind when using OLE objects in the current Allplan version:

• The size of an OLE object can only be modified with Resize.
• OLE objects associated with Allplan do not update automatically. You need to do this manually.
• OLE objects are only printed with Windows drivers. You cannot use Nemetschek drivers.
  

  Allplan vector drivers are printer drivers supplied with Allplan and are available for certain devices. To use Allplan vector drivers, you need to define at least one output channel in the Services application.

  

  A printer driver is a program that translates graphical commands into control characters (e.g., HPGL, PostScript) for a particular printer. You can use Windows drivers or Allplan vector drivers (in connection with output channels) as printer drivers in Allplan.

  

  Windows drivers are printer drivers delivered with the Windows operating system or by the device manufacturer. In Allplan, either Windows drivers or Allplan vector drivers can be used for printing.
