Building a website (hope this is the right place)

Myp71, <p>Don't know what your hardware limitations are of course so I can't comment on importing images.<p>However, apart from a scanned hand-drawn circuit all the circuis on my site were done with MS Paint.
It's so easy.
Once you have anything drawn you can copy and paste bits of it and use them like a library so you don't have to re-draw them. (You can have more than one instance of it open at a time.)<p>Regards.

Ditto, MS Paint. Save As gif and post.

Don't you need a steady hand to control your mouse while you are painting?<p>What do you use the pencil or the spray painter?

Line tool, view large (400%) 600% or 800% with show grid on.<p>Go back to normal to add text/labels in approximate position. Use sans serif fonts like arial or tahoma.<p>When MS paint saves color .bmp to .gif the colors change. I get around this by staying with .bmp in Paint, then converting to .gif or .png with another program.<p>You want to post .gif or .png on the web because for hand drawn images (like schematics), they are 10-25% file size of the .bmp format.<p>Creating schematics with a CADD program would be easier, but capturing the vector image(CAD) to rastor (.bmp) is a pain. ((Anyone know of .dxf to .bmp converter program???))<p>C U L -

No you don't need a particularly steady hand. Your'e not painting anyway, you're drawing so you use the LINE tool as Dale says, plus the SHAPE tool for rectangles and circles.<p>Have a play with it. You'll soon get the hang of it.
