To all, I have a oddly shaped small PCB (approx 55mm by 54mm in size). I have designed the PCB in Advanced PCB 2.8 because of technical problems I have encountered with Protel Design Explorer "PDE" PCB package (keyboard locking related to my Microsoft mouse, now resolved by disabling the wheel in Protel). For volume production reasons I have a need to use the test-point features of PDE to insert testpoints and then hopefully back annotate the resulting test points into my schematic data base, and produce a test point report for test fixture tooling. I have manually placed all components and routed using a snap grid of .1mm. PCB is targetted for a 3mil/3mil clearances bewtween different nets. I have beed unsuccesful in getting the "Find Test Point: feature to find any of my 25mil/13.5mil hole vias as test points. After working with Protel's tech support for many emails, they said it is out of the scope of their abilities to resolve. Also the Autorouter places test point unders components even though the check box is unchecked. I believe Protel tech support says this function does not work in the auto-router. Any info or direction to help me understand if theres a solution using Protel would be of much assistance.
