Re: [PEDA] Good schematic/PCB development suite recommendation?

FYI, I reside in the UK but spend a lot of working time also in Sweden and Germany, not so much in China/Korea any more as those operations are well up and running now. US orientated, political nomenclature means little to me although I guess, I better get used to it for NAB next weekend if I

The key thing here John, may be, that Altium will need to have a separate group of people to service the needs of their Simulation/Nanoboard types from the PCB/SCH types. They certainly have more issues to respond to. A full suite of tools says to me.. 'one size fits all'... or more accurately

Once again I have to agree with Mr. Brooks. I wanted to purchase PCB and Schematic. I did not want the NanoBoard, PLD, or anything else. Actually if there was a free schematic viewer, I wouldn't need the schematic tools either. Basically, all I wanted was PCB, not even the router. I have a

You could have accepted it and then sold it on this list for $500. There are other people that want it and they won't be getting a free one, so 1/2 price is a good deal. -Original Message- From: Mike Reagan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 11:24 AM To: 'Protel

[PEDA] 99SE router gets into an infinite loop

2004-04-12 Thread Ray Mitchell
Hello, I have noticed that about 20% of the time after I move a PCB component then try to reroute using Protel 99SE it gets in some sort of infinite loop where it appears to be placing then removing the same route over and over. It makes me wish it had some sort of Kick in the ass button that

I have been following this discussion on DXP/2004 with some interest. I do many more FPGA designs than PCB designs and find it somewhat amusing that Altium are again trying to hit upon the FPGA market. Protel has previously tried to enter the FPGA (specifically Xilinx) with a schematic capture

Mike, I wonder about one point you made Custumizing is very limited. I exceeded this program's abilty in a few hours. I exceed the original DXP release in about 30 minutes.. Are you aware that the scripting is available (by appropriate processes) to the customization engine? Also,
