Re: [PEDA] [PROTEL EDA USERS]: graphic images lost
Poor workaround: AFAIK you can import any types of documents into the ddb file. By importing your BMPs or TIFs into the database you ensure that your colleague gets all files. The only thing left to do for him is to export all graphic files to the project directory. -Tom e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Georg Beckmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list proteledausers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 10:32 AM Subject: AW: [PROTEL EDA USERS]: graphic images lost Yes, I think it is the same as I had with the company - logo on the schematic. In the sheet ( or library part ) there is a link to the graphic file and not the graphic itself. Your collegue has probably not the same graphic in the same path. Georg [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Urspr|ngliche Nachricht- Von: TSListServer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von Coleman, Tim Gesendet: Donnerstag, 15. Februar 2001 09:45 An: Multiple recipients of list proteledausers Betreff: [PROTEL EDA USERS]: graphic images lost Hi Folks, I've encounted a little problem with importing graphic images into Protel. This is the story. I created a schematic library symbol and imported a graphic image (snapped from the pdf data sheet and massaged in paint) I was quite pleased with the results. However, after finishing my schematic I emailed the ddb to my collegue who was to generate a pcb layout. I noted that when he opened the ddb, the graphic images were missing from the schematic symbols. It would seem that Protel doesn't retain the graphic detail in its ddb but references the location of the image. Is there a way of importing the graphic image so that the ddb can be truly transportable without losing the graphic? We use 99SE with sp6 running on NT or W95.

Re: [PEDA] [PROTEL EDA USERS]: graphic images lost
Dear Tim Coleman, [I haven't actually done this, I'm just speculating.] You have the image in a .gif file, right ? (.png is a little bit better, but I don't think paint can handle it yet). Try importing the file itself into your .ddb: while inside Design Explorer, click the Explorer tab and documents. Then File | Import and select the file. You can put any arbitrary file into a .ddb. (Unfortunately, sometimes you can't get it back out, if it ends with one of the special extensions). Can you import that graphic image (the one inside the .ddb) into your schematic ?
