Hi CH,
respectfully disagree: that would mean we should get out our good-old
pen-plotters and vector-graphics displays as well? But even those rasterize in
their DAC and Stepper-Motor resolutions...
High-resolution raster-files can guarantee that all traces in a schematic
line up, the text has the correct size and type etc, and no one in Asia is
modifying the files.
File-size is not an issue, our 5-page schematics in 600 dpi turn into a
beautiful and tiny 105 KByte PDF file that prints perfectly even on D-Size paper.
105KB is probably less space than an embedded font would take.
Especially for schematics run-length coding works wonders on raster files.
bye,
Said
