Creating Circuit Diagrams for display on the Web and in Word
TinyCAD has some features to make it easier for you to put your circuit diagrams on your own web-site or adding them
to your Word or other documents.
Turn your circuit diagrams in to PNG images
Although you might want to put the original drawing on your web-site, with a link to TinyCAD for download, this isn't
normally what people want to do.
A better solution is to convert your circuit digrams in to bitmap. TinyCAD supports
outputing ciruits diagrams as PNG files. If you are not familar with PNG files, they are the open-source equivilent
of GIFs. All modern web browsers and operating systems support PNG files.
You can create PNG files directly from the file menu in TinyCAD, these files can be exported in colour or black
and white.
Copy & Paste your circuit diagrams in to Word or Powerpoint
You can clearly paste the PNG file in to Word too. However, TinyCAD also supports normal Windows' Copy & Paste.
Any part of the circuit diagram that is selected and then Copy'ed can then be pasted in to any of the Office applications.
Instead of being pasted as a bitmap, the image is pasted as a vector graphic, making it higher quality for use in
printed material.
Convert your drawings in to Acrobat (pdf) files
If you want your circuit diagrams as PDF files, then you need an extra program that converts the print output from
TinyCAD.
There is an open source PDF creator that you can get by following the links in the "Link" section above. This program
produces excellent PDF files from not only TinyCAD but most Windows programs.
