Re: [PEDA] Protel 99SE experience

Choong, it is well documented on this forum that P99SE is not stable on Win98. The problem is with resource limits within Win98. If you can, upgrade to NT4 or W2K as well as upgrading your P99SE to Service pack 6. With one of those operating systems and the SP6, you should have very stable op

[PEDA] DRC errors

I'm updating a PCB after making some schematic changes, and the PCB DRC checker is giving lots of violations of 'clearance constraints' and 'short circuit constraints' - I haven't changed any of the default protel design rules, and no matter how much I space out the parts, I'm still getting these

[PEDA] how to best connect multiple ground planes ?

hi there, this is a general PC board layout design question as opposed to a protel specific question - i hope noone minds too much my question is this - i have a double sided board with ground fills on both sides - what is the best way to go about connecting these? the board is an audio A/D c

Re: [PEDA] PCB to Sch synchronizer

Thanks Peter . I tried both '( PCB ) Tools/ Update' schematics as the manual seems to suggest, and also '(Schematic) Tools/ Back Annotate'. Both gave the same result - failure to match designators. In my initial scheme I annotated the schematics using the advanced option to assign components on

Re: [PEDA] DRC errors

Pete, I've had similar things happen when the Clearance Rule has been changed from "Different Nets Only" to "Any Net." I know that you said you hadn't changed any of the default rules but it's a quick and easy check. Hope this helps. brian -Original Message- From: Peter Moreton [mai

Re: [PEDA] how to best connect multiple ground planes ?

Every signal path is a loop, consisting of the discrete trace that you normally regard as the "signal path", and the return side that follows either the ground or power supply return. The correct answer to your question is - whichever will produce the shortest return path for each signal while

Re: [PEDA] CORRECTION: CAREER OPPORTUNITY FOR SENIOR PCB DESIGNER

Ron, I did not respond to your original post below, since I am a little too far away for the commute, living in Pasadena in the LA Area. The thought has occurred to me though that from time to time you my get snowed under and need a little "overflow" support, and as I have my own Protel 99 SE and
