Hi all, I have this nasty NT app called ActiveHDL that I use for VHDL development. Its block diagram editor doesn't export to any reasonable format. I am trying to put block diagrams from it in a Latex document, and am having all sorts of grief. I would prefer it to be a vector graphics format than a bitmap (vg always looks nicer). First I tried printing the document to a file, in the belief that this would give me postscript, but gs, gv and ps2pdf all barf on it with the message: Error: /syntaxerror in -file- Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1037/1476(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:67/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Current file position is 425 GNU Ghostscript 6.53: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 If anyone cal tell me what that means I would appreciate it. So next I tried copying it to the clipboard. It seems that it keeps the image there as a Windows Metafile (WMF). But I can't find anything to paste it into that will save it as a useful format. I can paste it into Word, but that won't export it further. Also if I try printing it to file from word I get the same issue as above. Windows clipboard viewer can save it, but that is as some .clp file. I am greatly frustrated by this. Google doesn't seem to have any answers. Is there a way of opening the windows clipboard files (*.clp) in linux? Or does anyone know of a free 'doze app that can grab the contents of the clipboard and save it as some useful vector format (EPS would be nice...)
