exporting schematics to pictures

is an Eagle Schematic. It is interesting because the line widths are

bigger than anything I have managed to obtain with Eagle 4.9.x The

proportions are much better than I get. Anyone got good advice on how to

do exporting to pictures for both print and the web that produces good

results?

 

I can make the net line thicker but can't seem to make the default width

change and even then I can't see how to change the width of the lines in

the IO pins.

 

Thanks

    I like to use the sch2wmf ULP to generate native windows drawings

    which scale perfectly and are compact. These can be pasted into

    documents and saved as pdf's and are totally zoomable and scalable.

    Thank you for that suggestion. And Joern for his. I didn't know about

    the WMF ULP.

     

    However, nice though they are, neither can get the results I saw with a

    much better proportioning to the line widths.

    The default line width for nets is 6 mil. This fits to the line

    width of the pins. You can change the default value for the net

    lines with, for example:

     

    SET NET_WIRE_WIDTH 0.01;

     

    The pin width can't be changed.

    Ah ... right. Thanks for that. Clearly then, the picture I saw has been

    post-processed. I did manage a similar effect by exporting to WMF and

    then messing in Illustrator but it all seemed a lot of work for the result.
