Problem with plotting schematic

[Jaypee]

I'm having a problem with plotting a schematic.

I need to have a A2 schematic captured to my thesis in a form that it takes one A4 sized page for .doc format document and it's clear and understandable.

The "Copy as Bitmap" function wouldn't just do because the picture is blurred and messy. Capturing with f.g Paint Shop Pro has the same problem.

How do view and copy those files with .pho or .p01 extension?

All help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

YOu used to be able to import the HPGL (*.P01) files into Word. You can also import logic files directly into a Word document.

The other option is use one of the downloadable free translators to change from HPGL to something else. You can also use Adobe Acrobat if you have it.

This utility can give over a hundred different output formats. One of them may look OK, though you are doing a LOT of compression there.

Shrinking one paper size is usually pretty easy, 2 is hard to read, and 3 or more is virtually impossible.

You might have better luck breaking each schematic page into 2 A3 pages.

Thanks, but I'm still having problems. Yes, it seems that you can directly import powerlogic schematics to word. I just need to know how can rotate the whole schematic in powerlogic by 90degrees that it would take exactly one A4 page?

Nevermind, I found a way to do it. Just choose Adobe .pdf as output format when printing/plotting. Thanks anyway...
