Okay, wait a minute here. Protel, PowerPCB, Cadence, Mentor, they are all just tools. If you are designing a board outside the limits of any "autorouter" then you need to use the "skill sets" that made you able to design pcb's in the first place! I've used many different CAD packages and NONE of them can route a layout as good as "I" can. I have always routed fine pitch fan-outs by hand anyways, then let the router try, when it fails or gets like 98% completion, I know that my job is to make it right! And I like it! Any monkey can push a "route all" button!!!! ~j ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Albach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 10:05 AM Subject: [PEDA] True statement? > Is this a true statement about Protel? > (I think this was comparing Protel to PowerPCB) > > "PROTEL for PCB design cannot handle high complexity electrical designs and especially high speed designs. The route tool software applications are limited in the control a designer has, especially in fan outs on high pin count high density designs (tracks per inch)." > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
