Well if you find yourself doing this laborious process over and over, the cost of DXP will be nothing compared to your time and frustration. In 99SE (I think that's what you said you were using) I used to have channel stuff and I would make one channel per "room" and then place and route that. Onc

I've never hear of such a problem, but try sending the DDB file to Altium and describe your problem. They could test it in a matter of minutes to see if it's something weird on your system, or some inherent problem with Protel. Tony > -Original Message- > From: Darcy Davis [mailto:[EMAIL

Re: [PEDA] How to highlight the Net in different colors in 99SE

2004-02-28 Thread Tony Karavidas
You can't because there is only one highlight color. If you had DXP you could filter by the two nets, such as (Net = 'A5') OR (Net = 'D0') and using the masking feature, these two nets are shows very clearly. Tony > -Original Message- > From: Adeel Malik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sen

Re: [PEDA] Pads and single pin connectors.

2004-03-03 Thread Tony Karavidas
I'm guessing your PCB object is a free pad??? I'm also guessing you don't have a PCB footprint defined in your 'CON1' sch part?? An object on the schematic needs to match an object on the PCB. If you use the CON1 sch part, you need to assign a footprint to it. I have a footprint called PAD100 tha

No they don't have to be, but I put them there. The single pad part is just like any other part. If you can have a resistor on a schematic 2 levels deep, then a single pad part can be there too. I put ALL connectors at the top level because this graphically indicates what leaves the board. I don't

I think Altium's protection is decent. It's not a dongle, those break at the worst times. I used to work in a place that had a bunch of PowerPCB seats and once or twice a year we had a system down due to a failed dongle. It's not a timed node locked FlexLM lock which locks it down to one machine.
