Re: [PEDA] schematic lib ?
I would concur with exactly what Peter has stated. Do two schematic symbols as close to identical for pin locations as is possible. Quite often on a BGA packaged part, there may be a few additional pins used anyway (additional gnds or pwrs, right)? Sincerely, Brad Velander.

Dez, since your problem is actually with Win XP Home, have you tried to talk to Microsoft? Yeah I know, maybe an hour on the phone just to be shunted around or told it is the applications problem, but somewhere, sometime, Microsoft has got to be made responsible for their junk. Secondly, it doesn't seem that you have tried Protel for their comments. They also have to be made responsible for their product. It would be interesting if you posted Protel's response on Win XP back to forum afterwards. Then we might all gleen some information on Protel's intended handling of XP. Short of this, it seems that there are strong opinions on this forum but little prospect of help for you because nobody else seems to be using or planning to use XP.

So I need place for this via. I must push all tracks manually. Is there a tool or a macro , to make Push Obstacle for VIA's ? Harald Brünig No - there is no such tool. Protel does have some facilities that may help your manual re-routing. 1) Turn on the Push-n-Shove manual routing mode (Tools|Preferences then on the Options tab change the Interactive Routing mode) 2) Turn on Loop Removal (same location as point 1). Using the Push mode you can move one of you most deeply embedded tracks out a little and the other parallel tracks will move out a to maintain the required clearance. I find that when shoving many tracks it helps to do a number of short segments to keep the speed up and to stop some confusion to the shove function when you get many tracks and long shove lengths.

Driver, with source, is free. The driver is also suitable for Protel autotrax and schmatic.

Re: [PEDA] If your Protel has occasional 1-2 sec pauses in Win2K.
The problem doesn't seem to be Protel related. This bug can be reproduced with other apps which send many messages, or chopped up streams data through any network port. The problem might be linked to the COM+ handler. If the COM+ handler get a bug, and self re-initiates, it scans the com, usb parallel ports for new local connections. I know it sound crazy, but it's how Win2K finds new PNP items plugged to the ports at any time during system operations.

[PEDA] PowerPCB Conversion
G'Day all, Has any one got PowerPCB? Would you be prepared to check a small file and confirm it is in fact in PowerPCB format (what version we don't know, if you could tell us that would be nice). The file is binary rather than the supposedly-importable-into-P99SE ASCII format. Also, has anyone had any experience of importing PowerPCB ASCII files into Protel? Do designs remain intact or are there lots of mangling gotchas? Will we be able to bring designs done in PowerPCB into Protel and continue to maintain and further development of these designs effectively or will we really have to keep the products in PowerPCB? (We may have a significant number of files, maybe 10 to 20 or so, that we will want converted if anyone can do it. All commercially confidential so NDA's etc req'd. Expressions of interest or a preparedness to help would be appreciated but this could happen off-list direct to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Thanks, Ian Wilson * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Re: [PEDA] schematic lib ?
I had to organize my sch-lib for the same fact. It is possible to add more than one footprint to each schematic component, but I woudn't do that, because some parts have different numbering for different footprints. ( And perhaps some pins more or less which have to be treated in different ways. ) So the most simple and consequent way is to have a different schematic component for each different package and name it so. ( 74HC00_SO, 74HC00_DIL, 16V8_PLCC ) Georg I was afraid I was going to have to do this. Our engineers have selected a hand full of components that they are going to be using on all of our new designs. All the components picked come in three or four different package formats, which depending on the design are going to be used one time or another. So now I have to flag each component for each foot print.
