OK, If your image size is larger than A4, then select "Fit to printer" when printing. If you design is around the size of A4, then in the "Page Setup"...
TinyCAD version 2.10.00, Windows XP I defined some new parts in my own library (MAX232, 74LS164, etc.) I marked the pins as Input, Output, or Power. When I...
Brian, This is by design. The power pin are automatically connected to the power planes for you. They are connected to the power with the same name as the...
Hello, Just found Tinycad last night and I am IMPRESSED! Finally something that works and is free. Found it very easy to use. Have some thoughts which I will...
Hello ! I have been a TinyCAD user for some time. I use the 2.10.00 version. I wonder if there is a newer version (beta or otherwise) available. I use the...

Hello! What operating system are you using? Windows 9x has problems with dotted lines. You can always save the drawing as a bitmap (PNG) and import that into...
Thanks for the reply, Matt. I use Windows XP Pro. The dotted /dashed lines or boxes become full lines when cut& paste from TinyCAD to Word. Do you imply that I...

Wy, I have just done some testing. I am using Windows XPsp2 and Word 2003 and it all seems to work without any problems. I also tried OpenOffice v1.4 and it...
Hello, I just discovered TinyCAD the other day and I must say I am IMPRESSED! Finally, somebody has written a schematic CAD program for us little people that...
Don, You have discovered TinyCAD's dark secret - which is that it is only accurate to .2mm when drawing. Luckily for you I have fixed this problem! The next...
Matt, I use Windows XP Pro SP1 and Word 2000, and OOo 1.1.4. I will find out if I can update the OS to SP2. And report back any useful observation. OOo 2.0...

I was woundering if there is any way to diplay a non-connected wire junction as a kind of "loop" that appears to "hop" over the second wire (I don't know the...
Hi, I can confirm that OpenOffice 2.0 (beta) has the same problem. I can only suggest that you use the PNG export for now. Thanks, Matt. ... From: wy_lng...
David, Currently there is no way to do what you want. I will put it on a list of requests that I keep. I'm not 100% sure when I will be able to do this as it...
David & Matt, If I can offer my "2 cents" on the subject. Showing a non-connect as a "loop' or a "phantom wire" kind of went out with pencil and paper...
Hi Everyone - If you really want the cute "crossovers" on your schematics, Microsoft Visio Professional supports this convention in their electronic circuit...
Sorry David, I full agree with Don and Donald. To introduce the "hop over the wire" would be a regression. The very simple rule "no dot, no connection" is too...
Hi, I don't think you need to be too prescriptive on how other people want to use TinyCAD. If people want to have "loops" over wires then that is a reasonable...
Matt, I installed SP2 update to Windows XP Pro. Unfortunately, the same problem persists ... hmmm However, I did discover that I can select the objects I want ...

Hi Matt, I found a problem creating small objects. It may be related to the grid setting problem. I tried setting the snap value to 0.2mm and created a symbol...
Don, Thanks for the feedback. I think that you are seeing the rounding problems with TinyCAD. I just tried it with my beta version and it seems to work OK. If...
I experimented with other appls. to see which ones can "copy and paste" dashed lines/boxes correctly from TinyCAD. So far, I found none, including Microsoft's...

Hi Matt, I tried placing some ground and power symbols on a schematic. I found a ground symbol in one of the libraries but couldn't find any power symbols ...
Don, If done correctly, then you should see the power nets in the netlist as nets with the same name as the power label. However, this only works if you use...
Matt, Well I feel dumb! :-) I saw the symbol on the tool bar, it looked like a "sine wave" and I didn't even associate it with a power symbol tool. Will keep...
Does anyone have library symbols including the 555/556 and generic 8, 14, and 16 pin IC symbols? Thanks! Pete PS: Boat wiring diagram drawn with Tiny Cad at ...
Hi Matt and all TinyCaders, IMHO design's representation as database would be very usefull TinyCad's feature. I'm using TinyCad for future planing of my LAN in...
Antanas, Thanks for the enthusiastic support. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "design's respresentation as database". Could you give an example of what...
