I think there is a better way. You can copy notes to the clipboard and then paste them repeatedly wherever you want. To set up these notes for repeated use, just create a schematic sheet from which you can copy them each time you create a project. You could also make the notes part of your drawing format, i.e., the template file. I'd guess that the problem was caused by whatever was in that "blank" footprint. If it had no primitives, that would very likely be an unanticipated data structure, it is not surprising that it would crash Protel. Yes, the data should have been tested before being crunched, but the reality is that programmers simply don't think of everything.... We should perhaps verify this bug, I don't have time, but it should not be difficult. Once it is a reported bug, if we can verify it, future versions will be tested, by us if not by Protel.... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
