If a mouse arrow points to the component or to the selected area, the Zoom can be achieved by pressing + / - or scrolling mouseĥ wheel. Notice that +/ or mouse wheel allow you to zoom on the schematic. Press the - button until the drawing frame can be seen. Notice that you can show/hide Titles and Sheet by selecting View / Display Titles and View / Display Sheet from main menu.

Then go to the bottom of the screen, check the Display Titles and Display Sheet boxes. Establishing a schematic size and placing titles.Establish a schematic size and place a drawing frame: File / Title & Sheet Setup, select ANSI A in the Sheet Template box. Select View/Toolbars/Design Manager from main menu.ġ. For our 800圆00 tutorial resolution this is important, but if you have large resolution you can skip this step and use design manager / properties panel. Also we will hide design manager / properties panel to add more design space.

Component Editor and Pattern Editor use color settings of Schematic Capture and PCB Layout accordingly. The same dialog box will appear in PCB Layout module. Also notice that you can change color scheme or define colors you want any time from View/Colors. We will use white background as more acceptable for printing this tutorial, you can select the scheme you want. Also this mode is enough for comfortable work on small and medium-sized projects. It is much slower but doesn't depend onĤ drivers/hardware/OS.

Windows GDI can be used as alternate mode if both Direct3D and OpenGL don't work correctly with your graphics card. Anyway you can try both modes on heavy projects and choose the best for you.

Also it will be the best choice for high-end engineering/graphics stations with professional OpenGL graphic cards. OpenGL usually works a bit slower than Direct3D, however it is more universal for different operating systems and less dependent on hardware/drivers. However this mode also depends on hardware/drivers/versions, so small percent of computers (usually with very new/buggy or very outdated OS/drivers) can have issues with it (artefacts on the screen or some objects disappear).

Direct3D is the fastest mode for typical Windows PC and we recommend to use it if it works on your system correctly and you haven't High-End Graphics System with OpenGL hardware. You can select graphics mode that is better for you: 1. If you run Schematic program first time, you will see the dialog box for graphics mode and color scheme selection. This is a schematic that you will be creating using DipTrace schematic capture module: Open DipTrace Schematic Capture module, i.e., go to Start All Programs DipTrace Schematic
