Speaking of DXP libraries, I had a bit of a play with DXP some time ago and the first thing to irritate me was its integrated libraries.
Firstly, once having added one of these "you beaut" libs and inevitably you had to modify a component, the rigmarole of having to "decompile", modify, recompile and re-add was enough to want to frisbee the LCD monitor through the window. Secondly why on earth have they grouped components by manufacturer? This is a fair enough call for "Specialized" components such as cpu's fpga's etc, but seriously if you want ua741 in an 8 pin soic with a simulation model, wouldn't it be more logical to have a lib called OPAMP_SIMS rather than having to wade through dozens of libraries installed in a project just to get similar components After all that, having finally put together a simple cct that simulates correctly you add another schematic to the project to create the actual pcb schematic and find that the darn thing keeps wanting to make a PCB out of the sim. So you are left with 2 choices, create another project or destroy the simulation schematic. You end up with a plethora of directories, projects and a cumbersome workspace. It all seems so messy.
