Re: [PEDA] Bug report?
Andrew or the original poster, yes I get mm as well, as long as I have set metric measures in my "O"ptions "B"oard Options window set on P99SE SP6. Sincerely, Brad Velander.

[PEDA] Bug report?
Ian, not sure if you have this one (or if you conceder it a bug), as I haven't had time to look through the database yet. It's very annoying as I work in metric most of the time. Summary: 99SESP6 PCB While manual routing in 'line' mode, the line constraints dialogue (TAB to open), line width field always shows imperial units. Workaround: Include metric units string in the field entry box if metric units are required, i.e. 0.3mm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Re: [PEDA] BUG REPORT
don't know if this has been reported but: BUG: Summary: Cannot drag end of unlocked component primitives Details: Unlocking a component's primitive does not allow dragging of track ends using the Move Drag End command. Move Drag doesn't work either.

Re: [PEDA] bug report
I call it a bug. I didn't say it was a big problem, but it's not right. Say for a moment when Protel was contemplating the feature set of P99SE, they generated a product requirements document or product specification. Imagine every parameter and operation were defined properly in this documentation. Do you think they said: "Generate XLS file from a PCBlib component. Now if the next operation by the user is exporting that xls, we write nothing to the disk? I don't think so. This is a little bug. My file was actually zero bytes. I'm not sure where you're seeing 4k, but that's not what I saw.

The project manager claims the file is zero bytes because it is empty. Here is how it happens, I think: When a spreadsheet is created by PCB (and I think the same is true for Schematic), the file is created but the spreadsheet data is only in RAM, it is not written to the .ddb. If at this point one closes the .ddb, there will be a prompt as to whether or not to save the file. If one saves the file, the data is written to the file. If one does *not* save the file, an empty spreadsheet is maintained in the .ddb. Yes, it has a size of 4K, I'm not sure why. But it is empty. (perhaps it contains formatting defaults or something like that, but it definitely does not contain the exported data).

Re: [PEDA] bug report
Tony, I ran into that little bug while taking the Protel training in Sept 2000. It drove me and the instructor, who also couldn't figure out the problem, nuts for about 15 minutes. I couldn't export the file that the instructor was trying to have us export. Someone might think that they would fix little issues like that, especially when their instructors or other Protel staffers find them or experience them. Sincerely, Brad Velander.
