Hi John,
Our CNC programmers prefer it this way. Draw the exact slot on the
mechanical layer 1 and then place text inside the slot on the same layer -
something like "rout and remove".

im placing a slot that is 12.5mm x 17.5mm on a PCB do i just draw this
in as a track on a mechanical layer as the size required and specify this to

While experimenting with templates in P99SEsp6 I find that an included logo
(BMP image) does not always show up.
If the Ddb with the templates is open, all is well. If I close that Ddb and
keep the design open the logo still shows, but when I open the design the

I have a schematic sheet (38 of 42) named "38 J1 Connector". Connector J2 was very
much like J1 and so got added to the same sheet. Therefore I need to rename the sheet
to "38 J1 and J2 Connectors". I also would like to rename all the three references to

Leo,
You might try setting the particular template as a default
template. Go to Tools -> Preferences -> Schematic Tab. At the bottom is
the Set Default Template. I would also be sure your template ddb is
saved in the System folder, ie. C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99

Peter,
I like the idea of including unreasonably small holes to identify center
points of slots or cutouts because it serves as an additional reminder to
the fab house to read the notes. Too often they are checking many things
under time pressure and this prevents missing a note. I usually place
Page 77 of the Designer's Handbook indicates that "graphical images are not
stored in the schematic file- only a link to the file is saved with the
sheet. If you move your design to a different directory you will need to
change the link (double-click on the image to edit the link)." Presumably

Having solved this, this is what I did and do. From Protel 98 onwards.
I make sure the BMP object in the template has the full path to the file on
disk and make sure the file is always in the same place.
i.e. C:\images\logo.bmp
It has worked and continues to work. The limitation being of you
Jeff,
It doesn't seem to matter if you move the ddb outside of Protel.
I copied a database to another directory and opened it directly and
didn't have a problem. The bitmap graphic came with it. I really believe
that the template database has to be stored in C:\Program Files\Design
Explorer
The problem is that the logo must be in the same folder as the DDB file(s). You will
find that if you keep a common folder of all your DDB files along with the logo that
it will load every time. If you then go and open a DDB in a different folder ten the
next time Protel opens it will have been
Just my 2 cents ...
We keep our logo *.wmf file on our network in one location so that it
doesn't matter which computer you are using, the logo always appears.
Just specify the complete path and that should do it. Although if the
DDB is sent elsewhere then keeping it in the DDB should work. H
