Here is a link to a handy website with pdf's of various types of graph paper. http://www.mathematicshelpcentral.com/graph_paper.htm Thanks, Mike. The linked program for generating your own graph paper is also handy. If one has a good scanner, it should be able to repro exact dimensions...such as copying the (copyrighted) commercial graph papers (such as 3-, 4-, 5-log types or Smith charts) which are "non-standard" for anyone not in electronics. :-) I use a combination of PDFs, BMPs (via MS Paint) to get 1:1 drill guides for PCBs and small chassis structures. With either Corel or Adobe photo edit programs you will find that one can do quite-exact photo reductions of 2:1 or even 3:1 by the adjustment of pixels per inch in either Corel Photo House or Adobe PhotoDeluxe 3. Other photo programs should be able to do the same thing. Good for one-of-a-kind projects. I've regularly done 2:1 scale manual PCB resist traces on a pad of vellum (gridded 0.1"), scanned that into BMP format, cleaned it up in MS Paint (image attributes set to B&W), dropped the scale to 1:1, and done the etch masks on VueGraph transparent stock. Note: Paint allows adding lettering, numbers, etc. as you need. All without going out to any photo services. Again, good for quick one-of-a-kind projects. |
