Protel 99 schematic viewer

[Tore Bergvill]

Hi guys!
Is there any way to export a schematic design (.sch) in Protel99 to a known
picture format (jpg/bmp etc.).
I can only find export to Autocad dxf/dwg format i my schematic layout
program.

Maybe a viewer for Autocad with jpeg export would do the trick?
Regards, Tore

There are 3 possible solutions that come to my mind:

1. The way you mentioned - with Export to Autocad's .dxf or .dwg and
then further (with Autocad or Autocad Viewer) convert to other format
(I wouldn't recommend it),
2. Install universal (generic) Postscript printer driver from Adobe
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/1.x/winsteng.exe
then you may use it as .ps file (e.g. with Ghostcript - free soft) or
convert it to .pdf (with Adobe Distiller),
3. Select all in schematic (S,A) then copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C) and you may
paste it to any Windows software (there may be deformations in X:Y aspect
ratio and other "strange" things).
