Output bmp file path, filename and extension.Īrtwork can be mirrored, it may be specified as normal or reverse. Input pcb file path, filename and extension. The configuration file pcb2bmp.txt enables control of the following parameters. If the configuration file pcb2bmp.txt is not found when pcb2bmp.exe is first run, a self documented prototype configuration file is created that you can edit to control pcb2bmp. For example, CutePDF reduces 1500 kbyte to 35 kbyte without loss of pixel detail.Ĭontrol of pcb2bmp is through a configuration file.
#AUTOTRAX PARTS LIBRARY DRIVERS#
You can use the latest available printer and are no longer dependent on the original printer drivers provided with Autotrax or Easytrax. It makes it possible to "preview" and "Print" correctly scaled artwork on any Windows compatible printer. BMP file can be opened to print with a graphics application, even MS Paint. It is available free for use under the principles of the GNU licence. pcb2bmp.exe is a 100kbyte file compiled from 80k of source code. BMP file from a Protel Autotrax or Easytrax. “WriteBMPFile.bas” writes the BMP file from the tablesĬode: Select all Pcb2bmp creates a. “VectorToRaster.bas” primitive vector to rasterizer routines “DigestPCB.bas” build the primitive tables “AddPrimitives.bas” routines to build tables of primitives “PrimitiveTypes” definitions of primitive types

The main program is called “pcb2bmp.bas” and requires the following include files to be present when you compile it. Installation instructions for Easytrax on Win XP can be found at: You can get the Protel Autotrax or Easytrax programs from the Altium website: See the “ReadMe.txt” file that follows for more details. This FreeBASIC program generates a BMP file from a Protel Autotrax or Easytrax printed circuit board file.
