Re: [PEDA] polygon plane clearance question

Hmm, a 300 Volt track should perhaps have a bit more clearance than just 10mil. Set that under Design rules, clearances, there make a new one and do it for one or more specific nets. Rene rimas wrote: hi there protel users, this question has two parts - one specific to protel and one not.

Re: [PEDA] polygon plane clearance question

Yup, exactly what I intended to write when I first saw the query... For the author of the original query or anyone else who's interested and isn't yet up-to-speed on the subj of trace/track spacing and working voltages, an example article that covers this topic with some specificity is located

Re: [PEDA] polygon plane clearance question

Cmon Rene, I didn't have time to write a book. Likewise one wouldn't typically route 300volts at 4 mil tracks and spaces now would you? There are always other confining requirements and regulations. Sincerely, Brad Velander. Lead PCB Designer Norsat International Inc. Microwave Products

Re: [PEDA] Default Pointer

Mike, Most, if not all windows programs remember (in the system registry) the last directory used by that program. But you can set your My Documents folder to a specific location such as a mapped drive. Keep in mind that if working collaboratively that all windows programs do not create lock files

Re: [PEDA] Default Pointer

Mike, can't help with all of your apps but the Microsoft apps (at least the newer ones) usually have the capability to set your default directories. It is usually in the setup or options configuration area of the apps themselves. As far as P99SE, on my system it always defaults to

Re: [PEDA] P-CAD Importation

What version of Protel did you use to import the P-CAD files? And, do you recall the P-CAD version they were generated under? I've since been told the files I have were done under P-CAD 2001/SP1. At one point the only version of PCAD supported for import was 2000. Looking at the Protel

Do you want to move the physical location of My Documents? If so, right click on the My Documents icon on the desktop, and enter a new path (to a new drive etc...) You can also use the TweakUI Control Panel applet from MS. Damon Kelly Hardware Engineer -Original Message- From: Mike

Thanks to all who replied to this thread. All the suggestions were tried, but still no joy. Have now bit the bullet and started again. (Why on earth couldn't the software designers be a little more informative than a cryptic Unable to Initialize?? ) Big Sigh ! Cheers. Dave Sanders

Re: [PEDA] Default Pointer

Interesting thread. Didn't know that everyone else out there hated the MyDocuments default as much as I did. Maybe the real soultion is to simply completely delete the folder and all of its relatives (such as MyMusic and MyPictures). Murphys Law says that MS would either recreate them or crash

Deleting MyDocuments is a brilliant idea Jami, but it doesn't work. The reason for this is, that there is a permanent file lock on one of its relatives... MyMSHeadaches and a new one thats popped up since installing Protel... MyPEDAGripes Alfonso - Original Message - From: JaMi Smith
