~ NOTE: The Convert command only displays for ITL parts

Place

Select Place to place the part on the worksheet.

After you place a part on the worksheet, Draft keeps the same part selected, so that you can repetitively place duplicates of a part without repeating the selection process. When you have placed all the parts, press <Esc>

to return to the main command level.

When an outline symbol is placed over a copy of the same object already placed on the worksheet, the object may disappear. Moving the outline symbol displays the placed part.

Rotate

Select Rotate to turn a part counterclockwise 90° (figure 27).

Each time you select Rotate, the part rotates an additional 90°.

Convert

This command only displays for TTL parts.

Some library parts have a second form, usually (but not always) a DeMorgan equivalent, as well as the standard representation. If an object has a converted form, the Convert command displays on the command line when it is retrieved from the library.

Select Convert to convert the object from its normal form to its converted form. You may see the converted object by leaving the outline symbol stationary.

To return a converted object to its original form, select Normal.

Normal . Select Normal to rotate an object to its original position, as shown in the library (figure 2-7). This command also returns mirrored or converted parts to their original form.

Up Select Up to turn an object 90° counterclockwise (figure 2-7).

This is equivalent to rotating it once from its normal position.

'Over Select Over to turn an object 180° counterclockwise (figure 2-7). This is equivalent to rotating it twice from its normal position.

Down Select Down to turn an object 270 ° counterclockwise (figure 2-7). This is equivalent to rotating it three times from its normal position.

Mirror Select Mirror to get a mirror image of an object (figure 2-7).

HARDCOPY

HARDCOPY uses fast draft printing mode to send a worksheet to the printer or to a file. HARDCOPY does not produce scaled or compressed output.

HARDCOPY is not used to output to plotters. To plot a schematic, use the Plot Schematic reporter described in

Chapter

25:

Plot Schematic.

To print a schematic in scaled mode, use the Use Scale Factor option, as described in the

Local Configuration

section of

Chapter

19:

Plot Schematic.

To make a fast draft print, HARDCOPY assumes a working resolution of 100 units per inch. Therefore, if you are using a printer with 100 dpi (dots per inch) resolution, your

HARDCOPY print is at full scale.

For example, there are four Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer resolutions available with Schematic Design Tools (75, 100, 150, and 300 dpi). If your printer's resolution is 300 dpi, your print will be 100:300, or % the actual size.

Similarly, if you are using a Toshiba printer with a resolution of 180 dpi, your print will be 100:180, or

%

the actual size.

To print a schematic, select HARDCOPY from the main menu.

Draft displays the menu shown at right.

Chapter 20: Print Schematic) or

For most display drivers, you can also use the Print Screen

«Shift><Print Screen» key

to

send the area of the

worksheet displayed on the screen

the printer.

HARDCOPY Destination

You can send a worksheet either to a printer or to a file. This command selects the hardcopy destination.

Destination

ILPT:

Select Destination. Draft displays the menu shown above.

LPT:

Select LPT: to send your worksheet to the printer port specified on the Configure Schematic Design Tools screen.

Select File to send the worksheet to a file. Draft displays the prompt "Destination of Hardcopy?" followed by the default filename HARDCOPY.PRN.

Change the default filename using the editing techniques described at the beginning of the EDIT section. When you finish editing, press <Enter>.

You can specify a complete pathname including a drive specification. Because the output file is a graphics file, it requires more disk space than the source schematic file.

To return to the main menu level, press <Esc>.

Files created this way can later be sent to the printer using the DOS COpy command. For example, if you created a printer file called MY.PRN, you can print it with the following DOS command:

leopy MY.PRN prn: /B

The /B parameter is needed because MY.PRN is a binary file. /B prevents COpy from terminating prematurely when it encounters the first Ctrl-Z character in the file.

6. NOTE: Because the hardcopy file is a binary file, the DOS

PRINT command cannot be used. For more information on

COPY, see your

DOS

Manual.

HARDCOPY File Mode determines whether File Mode subsequent HARDCOPY commands

append or replace the contents of any existing hardcopy file.

File Mode

Select File Mode. Draft displays the menu shown above.

Appended

Adds new data to the contents of the destination file. With this command, you can save a series of hard copies to the same filename.

Replaced

Replaces the contents of the destination file with new data. This command overwrites the current contents of the destination file with the new hardcopy.

HARDCOPY Make Hardcopy prints a hardcopy of the worksheet Make Hardcopy displayed on the screen. It either sends it to your printer or

to a file, depending on the setting of File Mode.

To send a copy of your worksheet to your printer, first make sure your printer has power and is on line. Then select Make Hardcopy. Draft displays:

I:::creating Hardcopy of Sheet:::

After a few seconds, the worksheet starts printing.

HARDCOPY Use Width of Paper to choose Width of Paper between narrow and wide paper.

Select Width of Paper. Draft displays the menu shown at right.
