My best guess is that since P99SE often times pretends to close whilst stupidly remaining in memory (does the new crap of Altium product still do this?) When Windows shuts down, Client99SE.cfg sometimes gets chopped into pieces, some of which dissappear...I've had it die on me three times. Each time the file turned out to be truncated, and in each case it was truncated to different positions...
Long ago the SOP advise given here in PEDA land was to get the program working the way you wanted, then save any and all associated ini and cfg files... aj >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leo Potjewijd >Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 3:02 PM >To: Protel EDA Discussion List >Subject: Re: [PEDA] creating a 'virtual' component > >Exporting a component to a spreadsheet is under Edit - Export >to Spread in the PCB Library Editor (strange enough there is >no way to inport a component....).
