Please respond to
"Protel EDA
Forum"
This came up not so long ago.
Protel has problems with certain traces when they contain loops in the
paths
etc.
Otherwise in the signal integrity module, you should be able to select the
nets and get a list of the components on the net. From that you can change
the component model used.
It doesn't do too bad a job on particular nets. however it's far from
faultless, and the results obtained should be taken with a grain of salt
(make sure you have a salt shaker on hand, you'll go through many grains).
