Exporting Eagle Boards

Former Member

Why is it when I export an Eagle board as an Image with 300dpi resolution, the board in the resulting .PNG file is huge and not to scale?

    Are you looking at the image file with a viewer that shows 300dpi, or a

    viewer that shows pixel-per-pixel?  (Ditto if you're printing).

     

    Many many image viewers are quite sloppy about zooming to the extent

    specified in the image file, and many cameras and image manipulation

    programs are sloppy about maintaining the scaling.

     

    See if your viewer has a "true scale" or a "1:1" setting.

    Why am I not happy that they have found common ground?
