You can do the same thing with a generic PS driver that comes with Windoze. Just setup the port as FILE, and it'll cue you for it everytime you print. IIRC, you can use Ghostscript to generate PS ?or PDF? as a printer driver as well. -- Mark Randol, RF Evaluation Engineer Motorola SPS, Inc. M/S EL536 2100 E.

What does ALT, WIN(key), Printscreen provide that ALT, Printscreen doesn't? Tony Tony and Paul , You got me , all these years I was playing twister with my thumb to reach that third Win Key.

Re: [PEDA] Exporting a schematic as a simple jpg, bmp, gif, etc.
I would like to use Protel 99SE to draw some schematics with the intent of eventually using these schematics simply as drawings, as if I had drawn them with Visio, Corel, Micrographics, Paintshop, or some other generic drawing program. I would then like to insert these drawings into Word, Wordpad, or whatever. Does anyone have any insight into doing this? A slightly different method that I find useful is to setup a Windows HPGL plotter with capture to file. Most of the programs you list will import an HPGL file and it remains vector based rather than a bitmap. It's a bit more messing around than going via the clipboard but the result is more useful for some types of diagrams.

Re: [PEDA] Exporting a schematic as a simple jpg, bmp, gif, etc.
I've seen many people mention PDF distiller/PDF writer to get high res simple output. There is also a free alternative to this (if you don't mind PostScript). Adobe has put out a free PostScript printer driver at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=44platform=Windows You can set this up to print to a file and voila, you have a PS file you can view with Ghostview and maybe convert to other formats. Note: this printer driver only supports letter, legal, A4. None of the larger paper sizes like ANSIB, ANSIC, ANSID, ANSIE; but I have a PPD file for these sizes which I can make available (I didn't think attaching it was appropriate). Also if you must have PDF files Ghostscript will do that conversion (I personally use the Cygwin version but there is a windows version too).

Re: [PEDA] Exporting a schematic as a simple jpg, bmp, gif, etc.
Just maximize the protel and schematic window, then press the Print Screen key on your keyboard . Then open your favorite graphic editor that accepts bmp format files and do an Edit/Paste . Your drawing will be there . The bmp resolution will be equal to your screen settings . This works for any screen image , be it schematic, pcb , simulation , tex, graphics or any other program, prtscr is a windoze built-in thing .

Re: [PEDA] Exporting a schematic as a simple jpg, bmp, gif, etc.
One thing I didn't realise until yesterday was that whilst it is not possible to copy PCB art to the windows clipboard from the PCB editor, it is possible to copy the print preview of the PCB to the clipboard (Protel help topic): Copying from the preview window to other applications Select Edit » Copy from the Print/Preview menus to copy the current printout to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste the image into other applications that support the Windows clipboard, such as Microsoft Word. Note: The image is copied from the preview to the clipboard as an enhanced metafile. You can also export the printouts as either standard or enhanced WMF files. ©Protel International 1999. All rights reserved.
