At 20 pages, yes. At 2, not so much. I used a series of programs but mostly gimp to convert from svg to a full sized 51x20" pdf, which apparently is the only format posterazor understands. It was then able to shrink it just enough (about 5%) to fit on 2 landscape format pages, then printed with acroread one page at a time because its menu's cannot turn off the automatic duplexing this printer can do. That file is now on my web pages (see sig) as halgraph-2-page.pdf in the Genes-os9-stf link. The better half's eyes are fading though, she claims she would need a microscope to read it, but I don't have that much trouble as the words aren't strange to me. She is essentially computer & machinery illiterate, and no urge to learn at this late date, darnit. As for doing it for every edit, heavens no. Only after the changes have actually been checked to function correctly in linuxcnc, and are not likely to be changed again other than setp values until I "get another itch" that needs scratched. I've also noted that Rockhopper doesn't always render the exact same image in terms of a modules placement, moving stuff vertically at times that winds up needing less paper because there isn't anything hanging down to page 3 or 4 locations. In this case, it helped quite a bit. Thank you again, Peter. Its a very good tool, once one learns how to use it. :) Adding signal name dotted boxes containing the setp values (see the missing mux2.0.in0 input in that pdf for an example) would be about the only thing that would put the frosting on the cake I can't eat since I'm diabetic. I might also suggest changing the color of a modules background to indicate whether its base-thread or servo-thread could also be helpful, but I have zero knowledge of python code. I know enough 6809 code to function there, enough bash to write my mail automation scripts here, and just barely enough C to be dangerous. Thanks again Peter.
