Joe, If you are designing boards full time ....and not just a few boards a year, a good router is a must. I keep a log. I designed over 40 boards for each of the past 6 years. The router costs are easy for me to justify.
I also perfer having 2nd party software for routing because it doesnt tie up my main CAD system. Hey Altium what a novel idea.....I dont want integrated routers....ever. I can work on two boards at once if one is routing. Wow what a concept...I can really multitask on two PCs Mike * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
