Hello Ivan,
to set the file attributes to "read only" is no work-around in any case.
In our company the DDBs are stored on a Linux-Server.

Yeah, that's a known bug, & I don't know of any workaround.

Yes, but Mark was looking for previously selected items to become
unselected, and vice versa. That is different from selecting everything, or
de-selecting everthing.

Ivan,
I know it's a "work around", but I just set the "Read Only" attribute when
I've (for the moment) finished working in a DDB (and also when it gets filed
in the controlled documents area on the network).
The drawbacks are that you get that annoying question "Do you really want to

Mark,
I just copied all the files 'training.*' to my P99
system directory. Then installed the server with
the big arrow menu. Once it was installed the
training menu under help was also installed.
Didn't take long once I found the which files it used.

You had it half right, add the parameter, "scope = all" to a button or menu
item with the process "PCB:ToggleSelection" and it should work.

We've used Molex .156" 3-pin connectors with the middle pin left out.
We use these in vacuum, where things get even hairier than in air.
We routinely run them at over 1000 Volts, and

Hello, all:
I hope Protel fixes this in future releases.
I hate it when I open up a DDB file just to look at something, and it
changes the file date. IT SHOULD NOT DO THAT!
I use file dates to know when I last worked with that project, and this
SCREWS UP that knowledge.

Mark,
Sorry I should have checked it first.

It was part of the training Seminar Examples. I have it

could try.

Somewhat related to this, is the issue of portability (both import and export)
to other CAD systems and tools. The programmers probably emulated some of the

Hi All,
I was wondering if there was a way to toggle the selection state of all
objects at once, in the PCB editor. I want *everything* selected to become
de-selected, and *everything* de-selected to become selected.

Pr
Kiernan,
another bug in Protel Gerber generation that you will likely run
into soon according to what you have just stated, involves Octagon pads. I
do not know the details as I never use them myself but reportedly Protel
does not generate the correct rotation of octagonal pads in Gerber.
Hey Ian,
I tossed it on my notebook and tried it in each direction. It still does it!

Your rotated rectangle is no problem to match up within the gerber to make a
fine drawn pad using 0.01mm traces for cross hatch. Your octagon only comes
out as an oblique line so I don't know what can be done about that.
The only thing that you may be able to do within protel is deselec
So far I have only seen this when I have selected and moved a bunch of

if I then double-click the part the coordinates are all of a sudden out to 6

I am woring im metric but also use basic increments like 0.1mm for all

I pretty much do not change between units display.

It is a matter of minutes to make your own sch-symbols and
another few minutes for a new footprint.
I want them my way anyway.

If you are in SCH and set two location markers, jumping between them works
ok BUT try using the PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN keys after that without a slight wiggle
of the mouse. The zoom in function doesn't center properly as it does
normally around the current cursor position.
