Tim, Protel stores default data that causes the behavior you describe. You can control what you get two ways. 1. Check out the TOOLS - PREFERANCES - DEFAULT PRIMITIVE tab. There you will find the dialog boxes that allow input and editing of the things you noted. 2. While placing (ie holding down Lft mouse button) and object such as a text lable, net name, pin, etc, press the TAB key which opens a dialog box. Any thing you enter here will now be saved as the default entry for future placements. Note that hitting TAB after the item is placed does not effect the defaults.

Here's another few questions I've been wondering about for some time. Why is it that when I place a Pin (when making a sch symbol for a connector) the pin name and number start at 8? Why is the net of the power ports I place on a schematic the same net name of the very first power port I ever placed in protel, ever? Why is it that when I place a text string in PCB I get the text that I was using in a completely different .ddB? Why is this info being stored and how do I stop it from doing so? Especially the pin number starting 8. ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: 30D79AD824E2E0459B064B0B39192F241AF9A49F * ************************************************************************ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
