Hi!
Can anyone tell me how can I get a schematic image with high quality
from cadence.
Thanks

Dear Sykab,
You can export a cds schematic/layout as an eps (Encapsulated Post
Script) file.
I would recommend the following steps.
1. Add the following bit at the end of your ~/.cdsplotinit file
(This is what I've made 5 years back)
#########################################################
# Customization to print out EPS files from Virtuoso Schematic/Layout
#########################################################
EPS B&W|Encapsulated Postscript: \
:manufacturer=Adobe: \
:type=epsf: \
:maximumPages#1: \
:resolution#300: \
aperSize="6x8 inches" 1800 2400: \
aperSize="8x6 inches" 2400 1800: \

aperSize="8x10 inches" 2400 3000: \

aperSize="8x10 inches" 2400 3000: \
aperSize="10x8 inches" 3000 2400:
#########################################################
2. Launch your Cadence and your schematic.
From your Schematic window, go to :
Design -> Plot -> Submit
Click the 'Plot Options ...' button and then :
Choose one of the EPS printers defined above + the desired option.
Don't forget to tick the 'send plot only to file' button and then fill
your destination file: ~/mySchematic.eps
I would recommend to:
- untick the 'mail log to' button unless you prefer to get emails at
each print.
- untick the 'plot header' button in the main plot form.
Click OK and your CIW should come with a successful Status.
You can visualize the eps file with ghostView (gv), gimp or any other
utility in Linux.
You can include your eps into a Latex document, FrameMaker, ooffice
and even that commonly used word processor whose name is not worth to
be mentioned in here ...

Riad.

(you can increase the resolution too).
Andrew.
BTW, in IC612, you can also do File->Export Image if you want (say) a PNG file
(you can increase the resolution too).

Hi,
The cdsplotinit I've given above handles both B&W and Color.
The thing that makes color plots is the 'type' property for the EPS
entry.
If you want the colors, the 'type' must be set to 'epsfC' as above or
'epsfiC'.
The 'epsfiC' produces an image with WMF/TIFF for previewing in your
document.
For more details, Please look at Andrew's explanation at the following
link:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.cad.cadence/browse_thread/thread/5ce19d6600689eab/044397791cd699b3?lnk=gst&q=epsfC#
And BTW, for those not interested in such a vectorial format and want
to make PNGs but still in IC5141, then you can use the standard Linux
tools. There are loads of them, either in command-line mode : import,
gnome-panel-screenshot or GUIs, like gimp or kde's ksnapshot. The last
one is my favorite.
Cheers,
Riad.
