Re: [PEDA] Pro-engineer

QualECAD View3D (www.qualecad.com) interfaces well with Pro-Engineer. 3D component models created in Pro-Engineer are imported into View3D/Protel via VRML. The board substrate, component locations and mounting holes are exported back out to Pro-Engineer via IDF. John Williams QualECAD Ian

Re: [PEDA] Pro-engineer

Hi David, From what we have seen with limited trials with PTC's Pro/Desktop, the common ground is .dxf's for dealing with Prottle directly at the 2D level. To get an accurate picture in 3D then the Qualecad 3D addon appears to be the way to go as it can utilise 3D models mech data directly from

Re: [PEDA] Delphi V6 vs. Protel SDK

Brad, What PCAD does is unknown to me, as I have never used it. My understanding was that Mira wanted to find out how to do things in Protel, and my comments were written with that in mind. From my point of view, Protel has enough capabilities to create any assembly drawings and pickplace

Re: [PEDA] All Servers gone

I had a look at my Client99SE.ini file and the Servers are listed. The file is less than 64K inn size. But... the first two sections have a strange looking header D1$ATTR0$EFolder$STF|Folder File200=DMSACCESS:$RPV:\Eng\ etc... and lder$STF|Folder File200=DMSACCESS:$RPV:\Eng\ etc... and
