Joe, Looking in the AUTOTRAX manuals, dates of around late 1998 are used, for copyrights etc. This is for ver 1.0 I think. But 1986 is when I was using Protel PCB which I believe first shipped in 1985. Autotrax had at least 4 mid layers, I have no documentation on the Protel PCB product.
There was a separate program for plotting 'TRAXPLOT'. and the pcb program was named 'TRAXEDIT'. Here is part of the spec list for Autotrax: max board 32" x 32" layers 6 signal, plus power and ground planes 2 component overlays 2 solder masks 2 paste masks 1 keepout grid 1mil to 1000mil track width 1 to 255mil pad/via 1 to 1000mil max nets 1000 pads 48 types cheers, Darren > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe Sapienza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, 11 September 2002 13:01 > To: Protel EDA Forum > Subject: Re: [PEDA] Protel clone on the way?!?!?! > > > Darren, > I seem to be remembering 89, are you sure on that date or is my brain > starting to fade? > Joe > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Darren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "'Protel EDA Forum'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 10:01 PM > Subject: Re: [PEDA] Protel clone on the way?!?!?! > > > > > > Phil, > > > > In 1986 that was just called 'Protel PCB' that was the > > first version I used then.
