 I have a populated board which has two nets shorted to each other

 Protel 99SE PCB document, so that I can locate the potential areas where the
 two nets are in close proximity. 
 
 Can some one tell me how to view the two nets with different colors to solve
 the afore-mentioned problem in Protel 99SE ?
 

BTDT. I usually do this by selecting one of the affected nets, which 
highlights the whole net. Then just click on a short segment of the other net, which 
will focus and highlight that net. The segment that you click will remain in 
the original color but show drag handles; the rest of the net will be 
highlighted. Good luck finding the short - I find this to be a very useful method of 
looking for it. I had to do this just last week. Took me about one minute to find 
the solder bridge under a microscope this way, because I only had about 3 
places to look after a quick look at the board with the nets highlighted.

Re: [PEDA] Camtastic Array function border.

[Lloyd Johnson]

I have been using P99SE for several years, but I haven't used Camtastic very
much. I don't have the Camtastic Manual and can't find it on the Protel
website any more.

Anyway, I created a pretty simple little .8 by 1 inch board in P99SE and
used the CAM manager to create Gerbers.

Then I imported the gerbers into Camtastic with the Gerber quick load
feature.

I then used the Camtastic array function to create a 5X5 array of this board
with a tab route channel of .1 inch between boards.

Everything worked fine except Camtastic insisted on putting a .050 border
around the whole array. I don't want the border. I asked my PC board vendor
to remove the border and they did, but I can't seem to figure out how to
remove the border in Camtastic to avoid this in the future.

Anybody know how to do this?

Thanks,

Lloyd Johnson, DSS San Marcos Calif.
