If you want to copy diagrams from the screen and paste them to a graphic format (BMP, GIF, JPG ...) it's rather easy : * press "control"+"PrintScreen" * open any graphic software (eg. Paint) * press "control"+"V", now you have the entire screen as picture * use the cut and/or copy function to get that part you need and save it If you want to draw circuit diagram or design PCB's I can recommend Eagle from CadSoft. They have a powerful freeware version : http://www.cadsoft.de/freeware.htm 73, Rik ON7YD At 21:46 11/12/2003 +0000, you wrote: >May I have suggestions, please, on a suitable software package to capture >circuit diagrams.
