In LTSpice, I do a "copy to clipboard" (or ctrl-c), paste it into Paint, edit as required, and save as .PNG.Hero999 said:I just do a 'convert to .wmf' in LTSpice, import it into OpenOffice.org, then export it as a .PNG, it works every time and seems to give excellant results. If I wanted to I could convert them to .PDFs but I wouldn't want to wish waiting for, I don't know how long for Adobe to load, on anyone unless it's a very large circuit.

Hi Ron,RadioRon said:As we can see, there are many different ways to cut and paste something from a drawing or cad program. I see how a novice might be too confused by all this to even bother. My suggestion is that they sketch a schematic on a piece of paper with a pencil, then scan it and post the scan.
Hero999 said:audioguru does have a point though, anyone who posts a circuit that is to fuzzy or spotty to read has wasted both their time and everyone elses.
That said, I do agree with you, providing the diagram is clear and you can read all the component values then I don't see the problem.
ericgibbs said:IMO all that really matters is that the OP posts a picture of what he is trying to do. The argument about jpg, gifs. png is irrelevent, its not a work of art, I dont care if its a little fuzzy or has dots or has a black background etc, as long I can understand the drawing I dont care.
Nigel Goodwin said:It's merely a question of using the right format for the job, a GIF or PNG gives a MUCH better picture than JPG, and at MUCH smaller size - why use something that gives a poor picture and a much longer download time?.

mvs sarma said:All discussion being fine, I suggest that at the upload point, better leave an instruction of loading only either GIF or PNG, and if needed the link to load BMP and JPG can be removed for some time. Also, methods how to size and convert bmp or jpg may be suggested, right there.

The diodes, resistors and capacitors are clear.ericgibbs said:Thats a clear, understandable drawing, it dosn't give me a problem....

What is the scribbled thing in the center? A hammock?

hi,on1aag said:Hi Audioguru,
The BY584 diodes and the working voltages of the capacitors
should indicate that there are high voltages present. If you apply
230 volt ac to the circuit you will find that there is 1300 volt with
the 230 volt line voltage superimposed across the hammock.
If you haven't guessed it by now let me give you a clue.

I would agree but the problem is that many people scan drawings in or convert them from JPG to GIF format. This results in all the other colours in the picture that aren't quite white or not quite black being dithered so it looks spotty.Nigel Goodwin said:Why would you want 16 million colours for a black diagram on a white background? - surely TWO colours is all that's required.
