Brad, I understand the sentiment of the Protel viewer by others in the forum. I suppose the point that I am trying to make it that Protel is an EDA tool not a 3D CAD package. I don't expect it to be. I use it for what it is intended, not for what is not intended. Ergo, I use the 3D export utility

I'm with you Dennis, I never copy the whole board into the panel. I just use another Mechanical layer (usually 3) to create a panelization drawing and let the fab house deal with it. We always print out the panel drawing and include it in the ECN package. Many of our test fixtures are created

Re: [PEDA] Protel usage

I'm with you, Tony. You couldn't pay me to go backwards into the old separated file method. Our designs use a numbering scheme which in the past meant having to look up on paper records which version of schematic matched what version of pcb. The ddb file system makes it fast and idiot proof.
