You have identified a long time problem with Protel. I have my library
components constructed with a .designator string and an outline much as you
describe. Mine are on Mechanical 1, from days with only 4 mechanical layers.
My outlines are 4mil lines centered ten mils beyond the max

just to join the consensus here. I do exactly the same procedure
that Dave has explained. It would be a great boost to Protel if they would
implement a paired mechanical layers scheme. As boards get more dense and 2
sided assemblies the norm, there is presently too much
Now that I finished the Client Basic footprint generator, my next project is to
Load Save, Import Export - Color Display - preferences for the PCB software.
I will also try to make an 'Auto Palette' for the transparent layer users out
there. The 'Auto Palette' will make the layer you
Brian,
That sounds Great. I remember this basic function on previous CAD
packages. The only thing I think I liked better was to have a layer
pair bright and the others diminished.
Thanks,

This is probably beyond the scope of what you are doing, but when printing a draft
layer over a full layer it gets difficult to decipher the draft layer as the board
becomes larger. Instead of the current draft effect there should be a translucent
effect
and the segmentation that is now
Dave,
I have never had this problem. Are you sure the client server is being
launched ? I remember a similiar incident when the simulation engine did not
show up on a installation. I changed the properties of the server to launch
with start up instead of 'on demand'. That fixed it.

I think this has been mentioned by others, too. A keepout layer that is
associated
with EACH outer layer would be a boon. A keepout layer that affects BOTH
surfaces
Am I missing something guys? With P99SE you can have keepouts on any layer
that you want, right? I thought this was the current situation, am I wrong?
Possibly you hadn't noticed? In P99SE, draw a line on any layer any
shape, edit the properties, click on the little keepout checkbox in
Brad,
You may have caught me with my pants down on that one, I'm a little
embarrassed to say that I have had hardly any cause to use the autorouter
since SE came out. With all the RF and other critical stuff there has been
little place for the autorouter in my work for the past couple of

Thanks Ian, for the additional clarification. I don't usually use them but
before I posted I did a quick open a PCB database and looked at the menu,
didn't look far enough down so I missed the Place Keepout command. I guess
Ian answered your query Frank?

So, they fixed this in SE and I never noticed?? :))
Mr. Protel, I heartily apologize!
Brad, please confirm that this is in fact what this checkbox allows you to
do...
Freank,
I have used the layer specific keepouts on Specta also , and the all seem
to work properly, I will also use
