With the schematic open and in focus, go to the menu: File | Save Picture.If you require a vector based image, we recommend trying the WMF vector export and PDF export first. Schematic files can also be saved to bitmap formats and the vector format SVG. A File Save dialog will appear, choose the location and file name to save to and press Save.With the schematic open and in focus, go to the menu: File | Save as PDF.Exporting to PDF will always export the entire schematic and will also export any highlighting made by elements that are currently selected. The PDF format is widely compatible with other products and provides another vector scalabale image representation of the schematic. If you have exported the image into an application and either nothing appears or the resulting image is of poor quality, then you should next try exporting to PDF. If you have exported the image into a Microsoft® Office product, then by clicking on the image in that application, it should give you the ability to resize the image as required by dragging the corner of the image. An image should appear of the schematic you wanted to export. Go to the application you want to export the image to and use the applications Paste method, typically this will be Ctrl-P.Alternately, by default you can press Ctrl-C to copy the selection. Right click on the schematic to bring up the context menu, and click on Copy.By default, pressing Ctrl-A will select all elements in the schematic. Select the elements in the schematic that you want to export.The WMF format provides a scalable image that works well within the Microsoft® Office family of products. If you are wanting to output an image into a presentation or document using an application within the Microsoft® Office family of products, we would advise exporting using a WMF vector image that will scale well in these products. The vector based outputs will give you the greatest control over the size of the resulting image, whilst the bitmap images are for quick image generation. SIMetrix can output to vector based graphics systems, PDF and compressed bitmap images. There are several methods of exporting your schematic graphically. This article describes how to export your design to other applications. How do I export my schematic design to a presentation? VersionsĪll versions (PDF export is from version 8 onwards)Īfter designing a schematic you may wish to use the design in presentations or other documents.
