An ASCII file is a file format that contains data on the quotation, order confirmation and, invoice from your design. This can be used when an .ord file is required and it can be imported into other supporting software. Winner can be set up to automatically export these data files to the Winner Export folder:
- Exit Winner.
- In the Confirm dialogue box, click Yes.
- Click the Windows Start icon and open Winner Info:
Note: Users can also type 'Winner Info' into the search bar.
- In the Winner - System Information window, select the Program settings tab.
- At the bottom of the window in the ASCII export section, under Automatically export ASCII file to export folder, are four tick boxes:
Note: if the four options are greyed out, this means you need to contact your local Compusoft Support Team to get the ASCII extension added to your account.
- Tick which document types are to be automatically exported.
Note: The folder they will be exported to can also be changed. This is done via the drop-down box, to select the project>alternative folder, or the Edit button if you wish to browse your computer and select a different folder.
- Click Save & Close.
- Open Winner and now whenever one of the document types, that was ticked, is created it will also be exported as an ASCII file to your Winner Export folder, or the folder you have chosen.
