Mike, Jami, others,
with this wild discussion about the failings of
Altium/Protel/DXP/P99SE there is not a lot that you could do about anything
other than DXP. Grab all of your marketing literature and sales promotion
literature, manuals, does it not state that DXP has pin and gate swapping?
Where is it? Does it not make other claims that are not presently fulfilled
in the released software? Multi-channel functions that seem to not work
correctly? Functions long standing within Protel tools that have
disappeared? What else have Nick or Peter claimed is "coming", should it
have not have been there already? They have been working on this release of
software for over two years, why does it need another year? Why was it
released now, rather than when it works as advertised with the features that
they have advertised?
That is Altium's legal soft spot. That is the belly of the beast, take your
sword and insert it there.
Certainly glad I was never counting on DXP for my sanity. Saving
money everyday and my thinning hairline.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander.
