ETAP - Resolution of tcc text

ETAP - Resolution of tcc text

ETAP - Resolution of tcc text

(OP)
The attached file shows a tcc I have exported from ETAP to Word.
The ETAP Help Desk has informed that the text resolution on the attached tcc can not be improved.
Can any ETAP user suggest how the tcc resolution can be improved ?
Increasing the font size is not a preferred solution.

RE: ETAP - Resolution of tcc text

Not an ETAP user, but in Word, it is just a picture - I don't think there is much you can do with it at that point. Make sure you do a "Paste Special" and import to Word as an "enhanced metafile" or whatever they call it.

Is this resolution significantly worse than if you print it directly from ETAP or print as a .pdf? If you print as a .pdf with pdf995 or similar, you can crank up the dpi in the resolution.

(My EasyPower TCCs look great in Word looking around)

RE: ETAP - Resolution of tcc text

(OP)
Thanks for you response dpc.
The resolution is fine when I print directly from ETAP or print to a pdf file, however I have had to create "dummy" fuses to represent vertical and horizontal lines of the Gemstart 4/5 contactor protection function which does not exist in the ETAP library. These dummy fuses appear in the tcc when I print to pdf. To exclude the dummy fuses, I slide them out of the tcc and use the Microsoft Snipping Tool to copy and paste to a Word document.
My PTW tcc's also look great in Word.
