A way I used often is to print from the schematics package to a file, for instance in EPS (encapsulated postscript). Most will support it. Then I open Word and import the eps file on a clean sheet, and presto! There's you schematic, and you can just email it to your customer/contractor as a word file, that he can print etc. Cheers, Jan Didden ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Mansheim" To: Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 9:10 PM Subject: [OT]: looking for suggestions for communicating interface details > I would like to communicate some information to a vendor that is > building a test bench that will interface directly to the pic on our > product.
