F1.5 Schematic Editor: Is it possible to cut and paste schematics into other applications?
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description: Is it possible to cut and paste
schematics into other Windows applications such as Word?
Solution 1:
A bitmap picture of the schematic sheet can be cut to the clipboard
and pasted into another document as a Windows BMP format
picture.
To do this:
1. open the schematic sheet and display the section of the
schematic you want to copy. Then press the "PRINT SCREEN" button
on the keyboard. This button is generally located directly to the
right of the F12 key in the upper right had corrner of the keyboard.
This will copy the viewable screen into the clipboard as a BMP file.
2.Then open the Windows Application called Paint (this is included
with windows and available through the start menu under Programs->
Acessories).
3.When Paint has been opened, select the Edit Menu, then select Paste.
This will paste the captured screen into the Pain Program. If Paint asks
you if you wish to enlarge the picture to fit the captured BMP file, say yes.
4.Once the screen image is pasted into Paint, you can edit it to display
only the desired parts of the schematic.
Solution 2:
Unfortunately, this is not possible. The Foundation 1.4
and 1.5 Schematic Editor does not use the Windows Clipboard
for CUT/COPY/PASTE operations. When you use the Copy or CUT
operation for the first tine, a temporal sheet SC Clipboard
opens. It is used as a storage for the clipboard contents.
For this reason it is impossible to move schematics to
applications other than Schematic Editor using clipboard
operations.
