VERO board & Visio
couple of ccts on the go, breadboarded to point they work now want to
convert to veroboard (simply not worth a PCB) I use VISIO which would seem ideal ... does anybody have any vero / component stencils for VISIO. A few listed on line .. but no luck actually getting them to download |

VERO board & Visio
What sort of shapes for Vero do you want? How do you want to use them? Just looking for basic veroboard strip layout and resistors, capacitors, pots, darlington transistors, and 8pin DIL header at moment Not looking for large format DIL or similar. Seems that a template set by http://www.vitalsparks.com/visio3.html was going to be fine ... but this template does not unzip when you download. Only doing relatively simple ccts .. I could freehand draw them .. just thought there may be some free templates out there. Came across a few 'free' design packages, but they were last updated for W95 .... won't run on W7 In any event not after a design package .. just a simple layout ... and Visio with its place and move around capability, transparency (& snap if you want) would seem fine. |

Only Visio ... but it can import cxf files I think |

Only Visio ... but it can import cxf files I think Worth downloading Draftsight and having a play - it's free, and a proper 2D CAD prog. There are libraries of symbols etc available free too. But easy to make your own and keep in your library. I only use it where I must have a PC prog - but it handles the industry standard DXF files that my CAD prog uses too. I've no idea how suitable Visio would be for all this - must admit to never having heard of it. ;-) -- *Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?

That's simply because it isn't zipped although the suffix suggests it is. Just rename the file or tell Visio to use it as is, it's a PNG file. -- Chris Green · |

I tried renaming ... it shows then as vero.png but Visio does not see it is I try open from within visio If I look in file explorer it shows it then as visio.zip.png can't seem to get windows to know its not a zip file I had a quick look and it seemed to be just a pic of a folder. JPG is a stupid file to use for that sort of thing anyway. -- *HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A CIVIL WAR? Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

It will let you design on stripboard or breadboard (but not, frustratingly let you use stripboard as a PCB output option) http://fritzing.org/ Gordon |
