Here's a + for DXP: The example I cited earlier about finding any unplated pads is much easier in DXP
Type this in the List box and you've got it! Find(ObjectKind = 'Pad') And (PadIsPlated = 'False') The hard part about figuring that out is I didn't know exactly what was available unless I painfully scroll through the parameters. They need to do a lot of documentation in this area. The way I ACTUALLY got to that message was to use FindSimilarObject, click on any pad, uncheck the plated box, check SAME, and click APPLY. You could even do it this way: (ObjectKind = 'Pad') And (PadIsPlated <> 'True') Tony > -----Original Message----- > From: Jenkins, Charlie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, August 03, 2002 12:37 PM > To: 'Protel EDA Forum' > Subject: Re: [PEDA] 100% complete?????? > > > An unplated hole will give you an incomplete net.
