On the schematic, right click a component you wish to replace. In the popup menu, left click "Replace symbol" In the resulting popup window Select the desired...
Odd how some posts appear immediately and others, like the one below that took two days to appear, get lost in hyperspace. Find out the reason and we may have...
Some (possibly this one) never appear! (Just like airline baggage - must be those mini black holes) But don't give up trying - every little helps. Happy New...
[Tried to send this before (11/12/08) but it timed out] OrCAD layout seems to want to import PADS-PCB *.asc file but this is not the same as the PADS-PCB *.net...
Phil - An OrCAD .ASC file is a complete (possibly finished) pcb simply output in human readable ascii format instead of binary format. This format is...
There 'should' be a way to import a TC/Pads etc. netlist to OrCAD but as I say I haven't found it yet nor have my colleagues who use OrCAD more regularly than...
Hi, installation of TinyCad seemed to go OK, I have the last version of Visual C++ Run Time Library (SP1) approved for Me, also of Jet (jet40sp8_wme), but get...
Could be a version problem. I have not been able to run v2.60.01 on WINme (or W98se). I use v2.50.10 instead for that OS. Not all the bells and whistles...
... Is it possible that the compilers used to build 2.60.01 no longer generate code that will run under Win 9x? It could be that the compiler uses some...
Hi, I'm getting TinyCAD to work fairly well so far, but have hit one problem I can't find the answer to. (Just point me to it if it's out there.) In North...
This is actually not the way most schematics are drawn. The usual method is: If a wire tees, "dead ends", into another wire it is connected to it. If a wire...
In addition to what James Kaiser wrote, 2 wires crossing with a manual junction dot connecting them is highly discouraged in corporate CAD groups. The old half...
... Not really. The best way is to go to: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinycad/> There are links there for bug reports and suggestions under 'public'. I...
"Some older engineers have balked at these newer standards ..." Yup! You see, I graduated as an electronics engineer before transistors came in and have found...
I stand corrected by Don. My experience with TinyCAD is primarily to generate drawings for my own use and for archival purposes. I don't belong to a CAD group...
... Thanks, I've done that, with the following note: I'd like to add a strong vote of support for keeping up the use of compilers that allow programs like...
... I'm a bit surprised to see a plug for Microsoft's copy-protected software in an open source support forum. See http://sankey.ws/copyprotect.html for the...
Hi again, is there a way of putting the Greek lower-case mu (micro) and upper-case omega (ohm) in the name or ref fields? If not, of course I'll just make a...
The short answer is no. You can use any character in (almost) any font for dumb text, wire labels, or any other text field for which you find a "font" control...
... Sure - I used the Windows charmap program to copy the characters into the clipboard and pasted them in. You can probably also use the Alt-number sequence...
... You will probably have to be the definitive author of such a library. Its very easy, I've created a couple of hundred objects/symbols myself. TinyCad has a...
There is a tube library in this user's group named "valves.mdb". It contains the following symbols: Name Name Pentode Power TRIODE-H Tetrode Tetrode-CH ...
"You can use any character in (almost) any font for dumb text, wire labels, or any other text field for which you find a "font" control button." Right, of...
I'm using 2.50.10 (the last that runs on my OS) and all types of dashed lines look fine on the screen but print as solid (on both my printers). Any workaround?...
I have no experience with this, but I would start by making sure that both of your printer drivers are up to date. If that doesn't work, then I would try...
I believe that this is not possible with TinyCAD if you want to make a net list for a PCB design. It is easy to make a small symbol that represents a...
See [Files/How to Files/Loopy.zip] Contains a symbol library and example schematic. Not a perfect solution but could work if you REALLY must. Generates a valid...
