One of the nice features of Protel is that the PCB ASCII file format is
self-documenting. You don't need a manual to read it, though sometimes you

IMNSHO, protel and other cad packages went a long way backwards when they
moved away from text formats. Sure, binary might be smaller, and harder to
reverse-engineer, but there's nothing like being able to run a design
through a shell script and being able to change numerous values. Scripting

If you have them, fine. But often all you have is an old net list.

32-bit software can also contain 65536 times as many bugs, right? ;-)
I thought bugs is what we paid for.

I can think of four easy things to try right-off-the-bat.
First - It has been my experience that failure of DXP to display an
imported .dwg or .dxf file is most often due to negative coordinate
elements in the drawing you are trying to import. Be sure that the zero

Hi there,
I been digging in the docs and trying experiments to try to get an old old

reformat it by hand to a Protel or Protel2
Im trying to get a PCB to fit the internals of an 165x85x55 IP65 box.(its not just a

seen on screen).I find DXPs CAD for making

I've used a Aluminium/Ceramic/Copper substrate before. I think one brand is
ThermalClad. This should meet your dimensional stability, and you can choose
any metal substrate, e.g.. spring steel or aluminium, this should give
you the strength you need.

Steve,
Have you tried any of the PCB manufacturers on Premiers (Protel UK
distributor)web site?

Hello,
I have a requirement for a slightly unusual PCB. Does anybody (preferably in
the UK) know of a fab house who could make something with these
specifications?:
(1) 0.3 mm thick substrate.
(2) Double sided.
(3) Approx 10x0.4mm dia plated through holes.
(4) Small size ~6x6mm.
(5) Fairly comple
