Re: [PEDA] Schematic hetero capabilities?

2001-10-23 Thread Shuping Lew
The problem I ran into is designator annotation when different kind of graphic multi-part component is made. Protel can not identify which parts are belong to the same component. It will go U1A, U1B...then U2A, U2B...Sometime it brings in the wrong part. Any work around? Thanks. Susan Quintron

Dear ABD, First of all, yes, I would strongly suspect a bug, though a damaged executable is a possible but unlikely culprit. Mr. Wilson is correct, it should not be possible to cause an access violation with bad (or good) netlist data. One factor not stated so far: did the Schematic pass a
