Drawing in Capture

RonScott
RonScott over 13 years ago

 All,

One thing I've always been frustrated by is drawing symbols in Capture. I've been relying on finding a symbol that looks similar and adapting the symbol to my use. For example, I needed to draw a XOR gate. I used two Bezier curves to draw the first two curves (see attachment) but can't get the arcs to cooperate to finsh up the symbol. I used Mentor Graphics DxDesigner for quite a long time and could create proper looking symbols quickly. Does anyone out their have the "special sauce" to create symbols effectively? Are there any unpublished commands (e.g. SHIFT-arc) that will ecpedite my requirements?

    Thank you for your input. Please be aware I was only starting with two Beziers. I was having trouble with the arcs I needed to create the rest of the XOR symbol.

    Regards,
