Proper Scaled Logo Image

EASiA
EASiA over 5 years ago

Hi everyone,

I need to import a very specific sized image to my silk layer. It is again due to Altium to OrCAD translation. The image on my Altium board is a 20mm x 6mm box with a string of Arial text in the box. As we know, OrCAD does not support TrueType fonts so I need to create this image in a separate image program like GIMP or Photoshop and then import them into OrCAD. I made the image to the 20mm x 6mm scale in GIMP using 144x144 pixels per mm. This gave a nice resolution to the font. In PCB Designer, when I try to use the method of New->Mechanical symbol then File->Import->Logo, I do not get any ability to set units, only Scaling Factor. What is the scale in reference to?

Is there any really good way to make this logo to be the exact size that I need it to be.
