- check backup settings ( Arrow | Preferences ) -- 2 kinds, "Create backup files" makes backups whenever you save; and Auto-Save settings are timed, and can be directed to any drive/folder you want.
- Also on Arrow | Preferences, check "Save Preferences" (may be default). - I think the default contents for a layer stackup legend were odd. On a PCB, choose Tools | Layer Stackup Legend. Click once to place one corner, then hit Tab to get the options dialog. You've got to set them before you click to place the second corner! - On any .sch, do Tools | ERC, go to Rule Matrix tab, and review/update the matrix; main recommendation here is to make all Unconnected pairings into warnings or errors, instead of OK. - Learn to customize the toolbars, how to add buttons, hotkeys, change menus, etc. One of Protel's greatest strengths is how customizeable it is!! > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ivor Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, 30 May 2002 2:09 AM > As with all software, I might expect some of the default settings for Protel > 'out-of-the-box' to be a bit mad.
