The component clearance rule is so broken I always have it turned off anyway... >It's just a "bit" painful to move components under the large components. >Every time you pick a component, Protel shows a list to ask which component >you wish to move. Not if you lock the big component, and set the "protect locked objects" in tools -> preferences -> options And, if the big component is so critical, it should be locked, to avoid embarassment later... Some way to convince Protel that I don't want to move those poxy split plane vertices (or the planes themselves) unless I'm on that layer would be very useful, though. Does DXP handle that differently? Less annoyingly?
