Yes. Absent such a warning, we should be vigilant whenever unlocking component primitives that they are relocked immediately when it is no longer necessary to have them unlocked. (Major purpose for unlocking primitives: to modify a silkscreen outline, for example to be able to read designator text which overlaps the outline; this is one way to get tighter legends with SMT parts.) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
