Re: [PEDA] An example why IPC footprints are often sub-optimal

Dennis, Placement Jaws on a SMT placement machine?? Don't remember seeing one with jaws, just a suction tip. At least not on chip shooters, maybe to place much larger parts? I thought jaws where only on PTH parts insertion systems. I have not used supplied libraries from Protel either the

[PEDA] reg old designs

Hi everybody ! I am using Protel99SE SP6 and I am new to it.Everytime I open the Design explorer , it takes a lot of time opening all the previously opened design databases. Is there a way to stop this from happening? All I want is that no design should open when I start the design explorer.

Sure, close your designs before exiting Protel and the next time you open Protel no designs will be open. Jeff Adolphs Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 9:45 AM To: protel forum Subject: [PEDA]

Re: [PEDA] reg old designs

Quite simple: close all designs first, then close Protel. ERROR: Quite simple: close all open documents first, then, CLOSE DESIGN. Always make sure your design is closed before quitting Protel. A once in awhile bug here within Protel may cause an error somewhere within your project.

Re: [PEDA] An example why IPC footprints are often sub-optimal

I see the .gif, but I don't have protel handy so I don't know what the relative pad sizes are. Would be interested to know. Using an IPC-7352 land pattern calculator and data for a panasonic 1% 0402 I get: least nominal most Pad Width 20 24

Re: [PEDA] Printing??

Yes, it is worth your while, at least in 99SE. It's quite straightforward, if what you mean is you want to print individual layers of a PCB you've drawn. Open the PCB you've drawn in Prtoel, then press F-P (file-print). This will generate a default printout. Click on the tab at the top of the
