PCB too large!

[SHOOTER1]

Hey everybody!

I have a problem. I want build the 30V Power Suplly, you can find here: http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/power/003/index.html

I downloaded the PCB in GIF Format. Now I want to print the PCB but ist too large. How can I resize it to the right size?

Thanks, Benny!

save the image into your computer..
open Microsoft Word.
go to insert menu..
click picture.. then "from file"
look for the image.. then "insert..
then you can resize it there..
PRINT

hope this would help solve your problem..

Hello!

If I do this is I got the new size: 12,5 cm and 8,9 cm, but it hast to be 12,5 to 8,7 cm!

There is also a white border and I don't know if I have to remove this first and then stretch the picture.

Thanks a lot!

Greets, Benny.

when you resized it, the "lock aspect ratio" on the Format Picture toolbar should be unchecked.. then simply enter your desired dimensions..

There is also a white border and I don't know if I have to remove this first and then stretch the picture.

This depends on you. you can remove it by using the crop command. in MS WORD, it's placed in the picture toolbar.. to better "trim" the picture, hold down ALT button while dragging. This way it would be more exact to your preferred size.

I have included here the MS word file i made with your desired dimension.. the 12.5 is 12.49, but i think 0.01cm difference is acceptable.. also i have a bitmap image attached..

Oh no! .doc files are not allowed to be attached.. i think i can send it to your gmail instead..View attachment 38487

Thanks logan!

I would make my PCB today and write back if it worked and if I could beginn with building my power supply!

But first I have a questions:
1. In the Word-File, you send me, there is the text "Electronic 2002" and the internet adress, but this text is very unsharp. Is that ok? I mean why is there a text that nobody can read if the PCB are maked.

Greets, Benny!

the text written is "Electronics 2002 http://electronics.cjb.net" i think it was the old address of the eLab.. dont mind the text written on the design. it was just placed there as an ad or something.. you may even not include that in you actual PCB.. just dont forget that it was the brains of eLab that desinged the circuit!

Ok I thought the text has to be readable, if not the PCB has the wrong size.

Ok thanks I try the PCB you postet me in a word file. Thanks!

Greetings Benny
