Bitmap import into schematic

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

This is not at all urgent but maybe someone has an idea. Yesterday I had

a situation that happens a lot. I received a schematic that was in need

of some minor redesign. Only in PDF, like usual. So this time I wanted

to see if Eagle can do the redlines by importing a black&white bitmap

snapshot out of the PDF file. Then I wanted to draw the extra stuff in red.

 

Long story short in a graphics program the bitmap looked crisp and

clear. After importing it into an Eagle schematics window it was all

blurry like I had ten beers and with a bright yellow background. Useless

for any redline work, so I did it as usual with a red pen and my

scanner. Why is that rendering so badly in Eagle?

    Maybe you could post the final bitmap (raw) before importing, so we can have

    a look at that?

     

     

    Can't post the schematic because that would violate confidentiality with

    my client. But the same happened when I tried to import a random graph

    from an NXP datasheet. The Cadsoft server limits attachments to 50k so I

    posted a snippet of that in my response to Tilman. Have attached it again.

     

    I can import that when selecting only one color (black) but it doesn't

    look very good and makes Eagle behave like molasses.
