I can make it pretty close to borderless with another 1 or 2 percentage points of size increase. Its a logic flow diagram and to get the text in a logic box big enough to read, it occupies a minimum of 6 sheets of landscape 11x17. Fairly complex signal flow. The .hal file that generates it is around 640 lines. Taping it together and sticking it a about a third of a sheet of thin plywood to make it studyable is about a 1.5 hour job by the time the borders are cut away, and its adjusted so all the lines meet when the tape is applied takes 2 cups of coffee and several trips to a well worn diamond plate to keep the knife sharp. The plate was 800 grit 25 years ago, probably around 8000 grit equ now. > On Sunday 10 July 2016 05:09:34 Gene Heskett wrote: > > On Saturday 09 July 2016 21:51:52 rhkra...@gmail.com wrote: > > > On Saturday, July 09, 2016 07:14:24 PM Gene Heskett wrote: > > > > I believe it is.
