You aren't just whistling Dixie, I see you run into some of the stubbornness
that is inbred with PADS only designers, welcome to that club.

Mira,
This was strictly design issues. Some claim that they have so much
experience but I was having to teach them how to actually use their own
package based upon my knowledge from a decade ago. Not to mention defining
and showing them how to use the online DRC, they didn't know how to turn it
on. Then when it came to actual tricky design issues, well I just shake my
head. It was almost that each and every board had it's own unique land
patterns for every component, even 0603s, 1206s, SOIC8s, etc., they had no
common libraries and every design by each designer was different. You get
them to correct one board's land pattern and low and behold the next board
was not updated to reflect the corrected changes from the previous, so you
do it again and again and again. I am through with that for a while now,
thank god.
PADs isn't that bad but there is a lot of stuff in Protel that we take for
granted, especially in the DRC rules capabilities.

Brad,
Is PADS-2004 that bad or just the designers are not
doing what they should?
Thanks,
Mira
