SORRY !!!
I've led you astray.
The metafiles are only for PCB - stupid me !!
If you want a "softcopy" of a schematic by putting it in a program such as
Word you can just use copy/cut/paste commands.
There is also an add-on called klipper - distibuted by desktop-eda
(www.desktop-eda.com.au) - which allows:
-PCB and PCB Library Editor:
- Copy and paste to and from the Windows clipboard
- Place bitmaps and Window Metafiles into you PCB or PCB library
documents
-
-Schematic and Schematic Library Editor:
- Paste from the Windows Clipboard
- An alternative to the Protel Place Graphic command that stores the
image in your document
- Place the objects on the Windows clipboard as a graphic image (which
you can re-size)
- Place Text on the Windows Clipboard as text in your schematic
-

Sorry for the mis-direction

Please respond
to "Protel EDA
Forum"
Wayne,
where is this metafile output for schematics? I certainly can't
find
it, is it something that is based on one of your printer drivers? I found
the metafile output for PCB prints but can't find hide nor hair of anything
similar in schematics. Even searched through the Protel help (as if I
expected that to actually work) and the only references that it came up
with
was importing or exporting from PCB previews.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander.

| For the schematic viewing you could use the metafile output capability of
| the schematic editor. Metafiles can be open by such programs as Word,
etc.
|
| Gerber viewers are probably the best way to view pcbs because, as
mentioned
| in other posts, there are no programs that will read a Protel PCB file.
| Graphicode have a gerber viewer that is free - GC-Preview - go to
| www.graphicode.com.
|
| Hope this helps
