1. Although printed in zone display, I do not want it to be printed.
For plotter output (WS and PC)
Regardless of whether there is zone display in the Sheet Editor, the settings in xx.plp (plotter output parameter
file) are used for printing.
Also, if settings are changed in the Plotter Output dialog box when outputting to a plotter, the new settings have
priority.
2. Is it possible to produce hard copies of the screen?
For WSs
Use the functions of X-window
You can use a UNIX command "xwd" to produce hard copies.
When the cursor has changed to a cross (+), click on the window whose hard copy you want to produce.
% xpr file name | lp -or
2. If you want a hard copy of the entire screen, input the following from the shell window
% xwd -root > file name
2. To produce a hard copy of the entire screen,
press the [PrintScreen] key, and the entire window will be saved to a buffer. You can then paste it into Wordpad
or Microsoft Word and print it to a printer.
3. How can I specify the paper orientation when printing?
4. Is there any way to save settings of print parameters (margin, monochrome) in the PC version?
5. The bus lines and nodes of printed schematics are weak (thin).
For plotter output
You can specify "Palette number" for the parameters when printing.
The default palette number is 1, in which case the bus lines and nodes may not be very dark. Since this palette
number varies with each plotter and printer, check the palette number of your plotter before changing it.
6. How can you print multiple schematic sheets in succession?
When printing from the Sheet Editor, you only can print the schematic sheet that is open.Can be specified here.
7. Is there any way to output print data to a file in the PC version?
Data can be output in the following four formats:
8. The WS version of System Designer is unable to print.
$ZLOCALROOT/zsys/bin/pltcnf.sh
9. I don't know how to set up the system for plotter output.
10. I want to have the Circuit name and creation date displayed on the Schematic Sheet.
You can use "Plot Out" to output the output date and time to printer/plotter, the Schematic sheet name, the output user, and the page number.
In order to output these items, select [Place]-[Property Viewer] and input the following properties to the sheet frame symbol.
Plot date | (plotDate) | : This is not the "date of creation", it is the "printing date" |
Plot time | (plotTime) | : This is time of outputting data |
Plot circuit name | (plotCirName) | : It will be shown as [xx.cir/xxx.sht]. |
Plot user | (plotUser) | : This is the name of login user |
Plot Page Location | (plotPageLocation) | : This will be shown as [page no./total pages]. |
Plot Date | - 00/03/31 | (2 digit year/2 digit month/2 digit day) |
Plot Time | - 18:00:05 | (24 hours:minutes:seconds) |
Plot Date | -YYYY.MM.DD | : 2000.03.31 |
Plot Time | -HH:MM | : 18:00 |
11. I do not want to output No Mount parts during plotting out or printing.
