Re: [PEDA] Schematic Title Block - Please Explain
From memory it was a JPEG image. It worked a lot better when it was converted to a .BMP Cheers, Mark Harrison Bionic Ear Institute Careful, this can change from printer driver to printer driver. IE: in my case, a postscript driver would work good, but with my laser printer in HP mode, it would completely mess up. The .jpg issue is related to jpeg's background color setting which differs from paint package to paint package. If you need a hi-res logo in the MB with a .bmp & you get the color/blanks area wrong color chunks, try loading then saving you logo in an alternate paint software.

Re: [PEDA] Schematic Title Block - Please Explain
Yeh, but watch out what you replace the logo with - I once replaced it with my own logo, which looked nice on the screen, but randomly screwed up printing. It took weeks to make the connection between changing the logo and discovering why wires and labels were occasionally moving all over the printed pages! >From memory it was a JPEG image.

Re: [PEDA] Schematic Title Block - Please Explain
Terry, The simplest way is to use the ANSI title block. It is slightly larger than the standard. The ANSI does not have the extra text strings such as ".DOC_FILE_NAME", or ".DOC_FILE_NAME_NO_PATH" So you will have to add them in. ANSI works for all sheet sizes. If it is too big, then you will neet to create the template for each sheet size. Much like the other replys stated.

I don't have a 'Default template' file loaded (under Tools->Preferences). This setting gives a simple title block with no graphics etc. Nice, I'm happy - except for one thing - the filename has its full path displayed and more often than not extends into and way past the 'Drawn By' box. The other nice thing about this title block is that I can go into 'Document Options' and change the template size and the title block always stays in the bottom right-hand corner. So my first question is - where is this title block stored so I can modify it (if possible)? Now when I load a 'Default Template' from Tools -> Preferences it has the big Protel logo with Protel's full address etc, etc on it. I don't remember working for Protel. At least I don't think I do.

While editing a template you can edit all graphics on it as well, so you can delete Protel logo if you wanted. You can also delete a special string, which is in your case file path.

Re: [PEDA] Schematic Title Block - Please Explain
The title block is stored in the sheet template. The sheet templates are in xx\Design Explorer 99SE\System\Templates.ddb Open a template, edit the desired elements, save the result as a .dot file with a file name of your choosing, then reuse it anytime as the template for your own custom sheet. If you change the template "on-the-fly" you can "save as" .dot file and reuse it. Yes - you have to have a separate template for each size sheet you commonly use.
