[PEDA] Updating parts in cache

it, which is to delete the part, close Protel to clear the cache, and then reopen and replace the component, but this is a little long winded, and should I have to do a few in the future, it would be nice to know a simpler method. Thanks, Mike. Michael Binning (Applications Engineer) Zarlink

Re: [PEDA] Keepouts

No, Protel 99SE does have layer specific keep out tracks. You can either place a track on the keep out layer, in which case it will affect all layers, or a keep out track on a specific layer, in which case it will only affect copper on that layer. Mike. |-+

Re: [PEDA] Protel99SE keeps locking up

Thanks to all who replied. Though I never really found the problem, I have managed to cure it. I reduced the hardware acceleration on the graphics card by a couple of notches. It effectively disables all advanced features. Not really ideal, but it has not had any detrimental affects. Thanks,

Re: [PEDA] Protel99SE keeps locking up

seems to happen whilst I am in the middle of doing things, eg placing a track, as opposed to locking between me doing things. Has anybody seen this problem before, or have any ideas how to stop it? It ran fine on my old 95 machine, and runs fine on my collegues 2k machines. Thanks, Mike. Micha

Re: [PEDA] Bizzare and Repeatable

There is a way around this bug. Open the Client99SE.ini file with a text editor (windows or WINNT directory), find the entry DisplaySplashScreen=True, and change it to False. Protel will not show the logo on startup, and the minimise bug will disappear. Mike.

Re: [PEDA] PPC to word insertion

Oddly enough, I found that the copy and paste from PrintPreview nearly always caused problems with arcs becoming circles. Thats why I resorted to the slightly lower quality way of using the screen capture method. Mike.

Re: [PEDA] PPC to word insertion

This is one thing that I have never found a good solution to. The best I have been able to come up with is this: Set the screen resolution to maximum. Ensure the PCB is suitable for landscape printing, rotating if necessary. Proceed to Print Preview and setup view as you wish it to look. Select

Re: [PEDA] startup window

The startup window can be disabled by editing the client99se.ini file in your Windows directory. Find the entry - DisplaySplashScreen=true, and set it to false. This will enable you to minimise Protel on startup. Mike.

Dave, I have just tried creating a simple design using tracks in arc mode, as a test. Got to print preview OK, but as soon as I hit the print button, bye bye Protel. Locked solid. Most odd. Mike.

Re: [PEDA] Problem when generating BOM

There are two ways to generate a BOM. It can either be generated from the schematic, or the PCB. If you are using the CAM-Manager, it sounds as though you are generating from the PCB. If you have changed the schematic, without transfering the changes to the PCB, you will get the old value. T

In my experience, I have found that Protel does not care what is in the number field. I have used a1, b1, etc, before, and it works fine. I have also used numbers like can1, can2, etc, for tuners. As long as your schematic footprint pin numbers match your PCB footprint pad numbers, Protel is
