Re: [PEDA] pcb lib default settings
Michael Johnen wrote: Hi all, how can i permanently change the defaultsettings for example components, track and other stuff in the PCB LIB. it is changed under Tools, preferences, defaults. changing is possible, i can save it and load it back, but it is not loaded by starting Protel. i changed the ADVPCB.DFT with my saved file, but protel still uses its own 'defaults' thanks Do you have Save Peferences checked? Not under the Tools menu, but on the pull down menu activated by the down arrow on left end of the toolbar. -- Jim Muehlberg Electrical Engineer LO/IF Group National Radio Astronomy Observatory P.O.

[PEDA] Via Nets
Though I have permenent checked in the via default menu, when placing vias, the net name always resets to no net. Is this normal behavior? or is it a bug?

[PEDA] Crash While Netlisting
Using Protel 99SE sp6, Win2Kpro... I have a heierarchy with three schematics. Upon executing update PCB, protel crashes. After restarting, I can no longer open the schematics or the project sheet. Using the repair Database tool has no effect. This has happened at least three times so far, on different projects. Has Anyone seen this problem? I mailed the .ddb file to Protel, so I'll post their answer when it comes. -- Jim Muehlberg Electrical Engineer LO/IF Group National Radio Astronomy Observatory P.O. Box O 1003 Lopezville Rd.

Don't exaggerate. It would be $7995. :-) In that case, it would not be surprising to see the upgrade price be $1995. That would be a tad expensive; it would put Protel maintenance into the same range as other CAD systems, maybe even a bit more. On the other hand, the increased price may include, say, $500 for CAMtastic, so upgrade might be kept down to $1495. Funny, I thought $1495 was expensive until I chewed on $1995 for a bit. I can help people with used licenses, but it's not quite the same with upgrades. I can ease ya through the door, but ya still gotta pay the help. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Abdulrahman Lomax P.O.

Hi, I use Protel 99 SE on Windows 98 , a couple of times when I generate the netlist from the Schematics, some connections drop out, they are on the schematics but they don't appear on the netlist. Is there a way over that without having to review the whole netlist. Thanks M.

Set the electrical grid slightly less (2 mil) than the snap to grid and visible grid. Another poblem that bit me was that the footprint pad number must be the same as the component pin numbers, or they will not connect. i.e. a component with pins A, B, C will not netlist with a footprint numbered 1, 2, 3. It's easy to misnumber a footprint that you're building and forget to fix it! -- Jim Muehlberg Electrical Engineer LO/IF Group National Radio Astronomy Observatory P.O. Box O 1003 Lopezville Rd.
