Online Designer Improvements

Open Multiple Documents Simultaneously

BarTender Cloud now enables you to have multiple documents open in the Designer simultaneously. This means that you can work on more than one document at the same time. When more than one document is open, you can switch between them using the tabs just below the toolbars. Simply select the tab of the document you want to work with and when ready, select another tab to work with that document.

The tab that is currently selected is highlighted in yellow. In the example above, tab 1 is currently selected.

Each time you create a new document or open an existing document in Designer, a new tab is opened.

Link to External Images

BarTender Cloud now enables you to not only upload images and databases to the Librarian (formerly the Manage Files view), but also enables you to link to those images and databases in the Online Designer.

Previously, when you created a .btw document you had to embed the image or database file within the document, but with the December release you can now choose whether to embed these files in .btw documents or store them in Librarian and link to them instead.

When you link an image rather than embedding it in the file, only the link to the file is saved in the .btw document.

If you use a database to access the linked image, you must connect to the database then add the complete path to the file. When you use this method, BarTender Cloud pulls the name of the file from the database then pulls the file with that name from Librarian.
