Re: [PEDA] A DXP annotation feature?
I believe it is not just on WIN XP it has also happened on WIN2KPro For me XP was fine but Win2k lost all use of HTML help. Other help like on 99SE still worked. Altium has stated to me it was a Windows problem. I have since been to MS sites and email forums and there are alot of people out there with HTML help not working. In my case I do not believe it was Protel that caused the help to go away, but not 100% sure because I only discovered help not working long after any installs. For months I was unable to get help to work, and nobody on the MS forums had any really easy solutions that I could use. So I just lived with it. However all of a sudden again (after a total uninstall of DXP and reinstall) help works again. Don't honestly know if this did it or not either. Sorry for the long winded post but basically from what I can tell it is a WIN problem.

Re: [PEDA] A DXP annotation feature?
I don't remember the fix, but I do remember it being mentioned on this forum a couple years ago. Check the archives. Maybe someone that had to deal with the problem at the time will chime in. Are you talking about SP1 for 99SE? You should be running SP6.

Re: [PEDA] A DXP annotation feature?
First posting to group. Getting up to speed on 99SE and I have been reading the all the posts on problems which has helped me avoid a lot of pitfalls. I've encountered a strange problem when loading 99SE and SP1 using WinXP Home edition on a Toshiba laptop. 99SE appears to function correctly, but the Windows Help and Support command in Start no longer runs. When I restore to a previous time, the help function runs correctly. I'm investigating what's being affected and will post a fix when I find the cause unless someone else has already figured it out and can post a resolution.

Re: [PEDA] A DXP annotation feature?
On 09:05 AM 18/03/2004, Ray Mitchell said: I don't use DXP myself but a coworker here has no choice since 99SE won't work on WinXP. Anyway, when it came time to annotate his schematic to get rid of all the question mark designators he went through the standard procedure. When it was done he found that several schematic symbols had been arbitrarily moved to other pages and plopped down right in the middle of nowhere! In addition, some existing symbols had been duplicated and placed in arbitrary places on arbitrary pages. Therefore, his solution is to simply go through all 12 pages of his schematic every time he annotates in order to correct DXP's errors (or should this be considered a feature?). Has anyone seen this behavior? Since this list is frequented by lots of people *not* using DXP and happily saying so at every chance you will get a little more noise than if you asked your question on the Altium DXP forum. (http://forums.altium.com) I know that there are some paranoid people that think that Altium will censor things, I haven't seen it happen except due to extreme rudeness. There are plenty of very disparaging comments on the forum. The main benefit for someone with a specific question is senior Altium people read and respond to questions. If you have something that looks like a bug better report it. I also know that this is a perfectly acceptable place to discuss DXP, it is just that you get direct access to the developers from the Altium forum and you problem sounds like a serious one to me. I have not seen Sch parts move during annotation like you talk about. Does it only happen to multi-part components? There was some complaints (with good reason) about the annotation tool re-organising parts in multi-part components - not good. A check box, "Don't Annotate Component", was added to help deal with this problem.

Anyway, when it came time to annotate his schematic to get 99SE has been running fine on XP Pro here for ages. That's encouraging to hear. Many of the people here have not been able to get it to run. In fact, many of them have gone back to Win2k just so they don't have to downgrade to DXP. I'll pass this on to them.

[PEDA] A DXP annotation feature?
I don't use DXP myself but a coworker here has no choice since 99SE won't work on WinXP. Anyway, when it came time to annotate his schematic to get rid of all the question mark designators he went through the standard procedure. When it was done he found that several schematic symbols had been arbitrarily moved to other pages and plopped down right in the middle of nowhere! In addition, some existing symbols had been duplicated and placed in arbitrary places on arbitrary pages. Therefore, his solution is to simply go through all 12 pages of his schematic every time he annotates in order to correct DXP's errors (or should this be considered a feature?). Has anyone seen this behavior?
