Hi everyone,
I have something further to add to this discussion. It is Protel's
problem, I am doing a very similar thing at the moment and it is also not
working. It shows the same symptoms as the cut & paste to WORD.
I am exporting the schematic to DXF, importing to ACAD. The very
same symptoms with text also plague this process, random rotations of
component text, pin numbers, net labels and plain text. Some sheets export
fine, other sheets are a shamble of rotated text piled upon each other.
With the problem appearing across so many standard applications it
can't help but be a Protel problem.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander.
