Ian, Effectively, this kind of PCB are only used with stable mechanical support (generally machined RF enclosures). The optional breakable part of the PCB is considered like a totally independent print with it's own mechanical fixation; holes have sufficient tolerances in diameter to avoid

Ian, we often use parts out of the standard Simulation Models.ddb library which is located in the default 'Model_Path' (\Design Explorer 99 SE\Library\Sim\). The IRF840 in the schematic library Sim.ddb references its model there in the 'read-only field 3': file={Model_Path}\MOSFET\parttype.ckt

I don't know for sure how the license manager works, but I think it probably uses a UDP broadcast over the LAN to discover other copies of the program. If this is the case, it might be possible to block some UDP ports on your PC with firewall software. Norton Personal Firewall, perhaps? Each

Terry, have you tried reading it in as RS274X format or drill? My thought was that it was .GB(Gerber)X(RS274X) possibly by the extension. Or, thinking further, is it actually excellon format drill and should be read in as drill info? Maybe the GBX extension is just a little misleading.
