DS> what do you mean by 'assertion error' ? Sorry, I should have said "Access Violation" here.
For Example, here is the PCB Wizard bug: Create a new PCB using the PCB wizard. Set Boundary layer, in the first dialog box to: None Pick all remaining defaults in all the remaining dialog boxes. (just say next, continue, or finish till you get a PCB, or an error...) I get an access violation at 004FE1C8 in CSRTL.DPL, exception occurred in ClientCreateNewDocument, when I do this. Yes, doing this was probably silly. (I was attempting to reduce the number of objects that might have shown up later in a DXF file, at the time I discovered this.) DS> i do the board copy and paste frequently DS> once or twice it did go to lala land on the selection stage but it works DS> 99% for me In my case, it appeared to do the copy, but it generated an Access Violation in the process. I was trying to copy and paste from the current PCB document, into a New PCB document to generate a new rev of the (same) PCB design, at the time. DS> when you say writing it out as orcad format, what exactly do you mean? When you do "save copy as", there is a pull down menu in the dialog boxes for the file format the file is to be saved in, one of the options here is Orcad. (others are EDIF, and different versions of Protel, and a few others) DS> it won't write dsn files, do you mean SDT format ? Not sure as I don't have or use Orcad. I was just trying to write out some kind of an Orcad file, that an Orcad user could later read in. btw: I have since discovered Cadence/Orcad has an EDIF I/O add on utility to Orcad CIS up on their web site. I haven't tried this possible path from Protel to Orcad yet. It might be a way. DS> and that save copy as of a schem then trashed the DDB ? Yes, it's repeatable, I've done it at least twice now. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
