1. print SW-drawings without background isn't possible !!
Hello, "my dream go's on"
And I want to forfill it as soon as posible,
I want to print SW-drawings without background, ( no white, or black, or ..
, only the model and nothing more )
or is there a way to print the background as transparant ?
because i want to draw on a plane area without any sheet form
and then print it directly on a pre-installed company form
that is made by 3rd company's software.
It's working with almost all the software programs but not with SW
because SW is printing its background over the form and that is resulting in
no form at all.
and that's not what i want.
in (Autocad) almost all the software programs there is the option to print
without background,
and SW seems to be more intelligent so, is it possible or not?
Please let me know if and how,
or if not ?? why is this left out ??
or is it an option in future ??
I have already tried the solution to Uncheck the check mark to print
background.in the File print-menu,
but there is still a white background behind the model, so there most be an
other way, there must be

3. Print a Cadence schematic to a file without square pins on the schematic
Hello,
i am trying to plot a schematic from Cadence's Schematic Editor. I've
added an eps printer in my .cdsplotinit and it prints nicely to a
file.
Nevertheless the big squares at each transistor pin doesn't look like
a professional schematic. So, does anyone know a way to get rid of the
ugly squares at each input/output pin and send it to a file?
I've searched the Options->Editor and Options->Display menu but didn't
found any option to turn the squares off.
I'am using Cadence IC5141.
Thanks in advance.

4. How to print a waveform without showing it?
5. a bit OT ( Printing from Virtuoso (or printing GDSII))
Dave,
I would like to generate EMF files from (simple) schematics or waveforms. How could I do this in skill ? (I hope it would be cleaner than from eps to emf).

6. Printing from Virtuoso (or printing GDSII)
7. SolidWorks still prints 'Student Version' when I print something
I upgraded my Student Version of SolidWorks to the SolidWorks 2004 SP3, but
when I print anything, the 'SolidWorks Student License Acedemic Use Only'
test still prints in the bottom left corner of my page.
Also, if I create a project on this laptop and then take it to work, my
computer there also prints out the same 'SolidWorks Student License Acedemic
Use Only' .
I've uninstalled and reinstalled SW 2004 twice, but it does not help.
Any ideas?
