[PEDA] : Changing Variant Properties in DXP

2004-03-30 Thread Paolo Morgano
Is there in DXP a way to change variant related properties of one component selecting it from schematic document or can I edit it in Variant window only ? I mean, can I select a group of component in schematic and tell DXP to 'exclude them from any variant'? Bye, Paolo * * * * * * * * * * * *

I might get fired for any more errors 2004 makes. I had previously reported that loading a netlist was troublesome, I can now report that it is also very unreliable. On two previous designs, 2004 would not load 0603 components without the library opened. On a new design I have two

It is now afternoon, the netlist I received this morning is obsolete. No problem. There are only changes are 4 footprints, SO8 TO SO14. I can handle that I boast to the customer. I modify his netlist accordingly. Cough Cough Choke, 2004 will not update the parts no matter what I do. I

This is serious Mike. I would go back to the old software and get my customer happy first... and take this up with tech support. Sounds like Protel is still performing true to form... release it before its done and fix it on the designer's time... and nickel. How disappointing... Bill Brooks

Mike, I have seen DXP (SP2 W2k SP4) do something very similar to this. In fact it just happened to me (again) not 5 mins ago. Add a few parts to the schematic, work awhile, make some changes, do an update PCB, and the new added parts are not brought in. I believe I also got a dialog
