Hi Fred, Thanks for the reply. I agree that it is our responsibility as Users to inform and demand that the product perform as advertised. This forum provides an excellent venue for us to discuss what is and isn't working and what the market desires for new revisions. However, occasionally it seems that there are a few Users out there that either don't understand the program and it's function or want it to do something that it was never intended to do. As I indicated before, I have seen the evolution of the software for the last 15 years. It has made some positive steps and some negative ones. One of my biggest frustrations is seeing a function that used to work well become one that does not. Overall, I am very pleased with the direction the program has been going, but the latest shift with the maintainence agreements that Altium is proposing has me greatly concerned. Sometimes I might just be over sensitive to all the whining going on in the forum, but then I don't have children so I am not used to that kind of thing either, haha. It is somewhat easy to tell the longtime Users from the more recent in the forum. Speaking of oldtimers, Mr Lomax (respectfully) What is your overall general opinion of the developments from AutoTrax 6.0 to DE 99SE?

Nevertheless, if we don't complain, and if we don't submit our needs and preferences, there's little chance that we will get the quality software we expect. You have an obligation to yourself to insist that software vendors provide what they promised, specified, and what you paid for.
