H.E.P.



Thanks again for helping a newbie. I'm going to look into Eagle. It
certainly has bigger libraries than what I've been using. At first blush,
they seem to be pretty hard to understand and find the discretes you're
looking for, but I'm going to give it a shot. Maybe its output modes will
solve some of my problems. I'll be very interested to hear what you have to
say about DipTrace. I'm currently using WinQcad and like it a lot, but it
does have a few little hangups, like this output thing. I'll have to pay
$150 to get the extra help I need on that one, and I think I'll explore some
others before I do that.

Thanks again. It's guys like you that make it worth it to be a part of this
site.

Mark

I use Eagle and am about trying DipTrace (first heard of on this list).

anyhow I think transferring via PDF is almost as crazy as using DOC!
but I guess almost any printing program has some sort of 'page setup'
it's just a matter of selecting appropriate margins...

and the new PDF format (and newest readers) permit extract pictures from
it...
