ok, point taken, thanks for the encouragement, keep 'em coming how about this one:
i once had a power port symbol "+12V2" connected to one end of a resistor the rest of the board was all "+12V" for that power and i didn't notice it good 'ol cut and paste - it wasn't my fault! :) anyway the resistor didn't go anywhere on one end and in the usual mad proto rush it was shipped because the DRC was happy does DXP catch this ? BTW, this is not a 'single pin net' since the netlist shows 2 items: +12V2 R112-2 the 'isolated' power port counts kind of like a 'pin' i poked around a bit in 99SE and couldn't find a way to flag it yes manually inspecting the netlist would have caught it and truthfully isn't very hard to scan through even a big net list for this sort of thing and for the record ... at one time i may have been in the DXP-basher camp (some time ago) at this point since i have not used DXP much i don't think it would be objective or fair for me to bash i hope i have not lately presented such an attitude i would prefer to be categorized as simply a non-DXP user who is very reluctant to 'move on' based on what i saw during a few brief forays when 2004 ships i intend to give it another go Dennis Saputelli Tony Karavidas wrote: > > There are so many reasons voiced as to why to not move to DXP. > Here is one reason TO MOVE to DXP.
