install it. They might do the same for you? mike leachman

Abd ul-Rahman,
Could you please elaborate on why you find it difficult to copy a
polygon to another layer? I can do it without any effort whatsoever. I knew
I had done it in the past. However what I had forgotten and just
rediscovered is that the polygon does not change layer colour until

Tony,
You may have a point there because their release also coincided with the
release of PADS 5.0

I can't see it, but the help for Create Netlist shows an additional to be

This is pure conjecture, but I have a feeling they got DXP out the door
to meet a business requirement, not an engineering requirement. (Hey, if

One obvious problem with DXP is that not all of the Active Signals show up
in the signal lists after a change. I'm looking at the lists now and the
schematic. I have a resistive element called Rtactor which is part of the
load and it doesn't appear in the list but another resistor called Rlim

Yikes! I hope this isn't true -- I routinely make a wirelist format

Tony,
if you read my message following this one that you replied to, you
will realize that I had misread the original message. Your method would

Yeah, I guess I was assuming the net connected to her power polygon has
a 'majority' of it connected.
If she does what I indicated, it will be obvious what parts of her
polygon pour (which is a outer layer ground plane) are not actually
connected. It will also be obvious if two or more large se
It would be interesting to try this on DXP...see if the new global
search/select in DXP can do any better in this area. Throw some real
world problems at it, and see how it does.

A solution that just came to mind after re-reading the original post.
Generate your polygon with remove dead copper checked. After pouring select
the polygon and "copy" it to another layer without repouring. Regenerate the
original copper pour with remove dead copper unchecked. Turn on the two

Deselect "Remove Dead Copper" on Polygon Pour Setup Dialog box.

Tony,
that will only select copper connected to the single net that you
click on. You would have to individually click every net on the board to
highlight all copper other than the "dead copper".
I did a quick test trying to globally select all copper that was "no
net", it failed
John
If you visit the Protel website and check out the knowledge base, there is
an explanation how to load a netlist.
Personally I dont see anything easier than "LOAD NETLIST" so I dont
understand why the change unless it was to speed the code up.

Do an Edit-Select-ConnectedCopper and you'll get a highlighted poly
plane for everything that IS connected. It will be obvious what IS NOT
connected and you can populate that with stitching vias or pads.

Is it my imagination or does the net list generator in DXP SCH tools no longer support
other vendors formats (PADS PPCB) or a straight wire list?

Gesendet: Donnerstag,
P99SE/SP6 shows the same behaviour but there you can ignore the error
messages and do the simulation run with positive values even if Protel calls
for negative ones . Do the simulation runs ok in DXP if you ignore the
messages ? Did you already reported the behaviour to Altium ?
