* Click on Design-Netlist Manager * Click on the menu button on the lower left corner of the dialog that opens * Select update free primitives from component pads This should update all tracks etc to be the correct net. Cheers, Matt van de Werken. -Original Message- From: Harry Lemmens

Re: [PEDA] 99SE: 2 of every net name?

I don't know how DXP does the clear all Nets command in the PCB editor, however, in 99SE, its under the main toolbar DESIGN menu, The Load nets which pops up the net list load dialog. Bottom left corner has Advanced. Click that and you get taken to another dialog screen. At the bottom right, there

Re: [PEDA] Zero-length Tracks.

2004-03-17 Thread Harry Lemmens
Matt, since you can double click Zero length tracks, you can fix them one by one by double clicking, and then modifying the X and/or Y starting points. This makes the track again visible, and you can then delete it! Cheers Harry Home office phone (03) 9504 1957 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PEDA] Antenna coil

2004-03-28 Thread Harry Lemmens
I cannot see any real problems putting the coil on the board, but I wouldn't mind betting it will take more turns than a remote (wire) coil to get it to the same resonant frequency (inductance). (Due mainly to the coils self capacity to its (own) other windings. You need to either simulate the

Re: [PEDA] Antenna coil

2004-04-02 Thread Harry Lemmens
The calculations I did for the track resistance came to about 16 Ohms for 60 feet. Since Prox Antenna's are normally wound out of wire with much less surface area than a 10 mil track, I suspect the resistance ((Q really) will not be an issue, if anything, it might make it harder to tune. (it will

Re: [PEDA] Would it not be nice?

I have been following this discussion on DXP/2004 with some interest. I do many more FPGA designs than PCB designs and find it somewhat amusing that Altium are again trying to hit upon the FPGA market. Protel has previously tried to enter the FPGA (specifically Xilinx) with a schematic capture

Re: [PEDA] Corrupted database

2004-06-02 Thread Harry Lemmens
If you look in the subdirectory where the files have been placed, you should find an incredible amount of backups of the DDB, and (possibly) some of the raw files. I would back these up to another subdirectory before proceeding. If you look at the time-date stamps, there should be at least one

G'Day All, I have a similar issue with Protel SP6 for 99SE coupled with Win2k SP4. installation of both caused my machine to become very unstable, throwing the access violation at many places with 99SE. (Mainly in the simulator though, However, leaving the machine for a while was
