Hello, I'm a electronics engineering student new to simulation sofwares.

I'm using Orcad's Capture (Pspice) to make simulations.
It only has 'print' option that leads to system print prompt, and I can only print to pdf.
I want to export the plot as a image or vector, like matlab's plot function. How can I do that?

Thanks.

Can't you write a filter that reads a PDF file and outputs the desired format?

You can also use snipping tool like in this case:

This may help...

Edit simulation profile, select the Data Collection tab, enable "Save data in the CDSF format".



Rerun your simulation. You'll now find a <simulation_name>.csd file in your SCHEMATIC.<simulation_ name> folder...

The file is the plot data and will look something like.... but I can't tell you how to interpret that - the question seems to have been asked many times but I've not found any answers...

There's some online converters out there but I want the native source as output.

The document is created in 2007. In my version of PSPICE, none of the steps are exist.
Snipping tool can be used but it produces a lossy image file. I'm after a lossless vector file.
Thanks for responding.
