Why? The way I read into it all is that DXP is the host environment and each of these other things are functional plug in modules. Protel2004 is the PCB stuff, Nexar is the system level FPGA stuff, nV is the sch/sim stuff. I don't think a training course for the current DXP will change much at all

I agree with you. It's just to get them close either with stuffing the board, or making the PCB. Who cares if a surface mount part has a couple through hole alignment holes? They are holes nevertheless and require drilling, so they need to be counted as through holes. Here's a sample from one

Dimensioning is one area that is really improved in DXP. You can specify mm, cm, mils, inches, precision, and they attach to objects so when you move the object (mounting hole for example) the dimensions adjust automatically. It's much better than 99SE Check out the demo if you have time.
