Yes 2.8 has the ability to place all components. There was also an add-on
library browser for V3 but this has not been released for P99SE. The
company that made the browser is http://www.eda.co.uk.
This is now one of the most commonly requested features. An add-on server
to dump a library to a PCB even all jumbled on top of each other would be
useful and not hard to write - for someone with the time and inclination...
I think that this is one of the big missing holes in P99SE - library
management which includes version control, previewing, proofing etc. I
strongly suspect that this is an area that Protel is busy on for P02 (??).
