Re: [PEDA] CAMtastic 2000 and DRC Checking Of Gerbers....?
The way I generate tabbed panels with mouse bites is a combination of ACAD and Camtastic. I have a Protel lib part thats the layer info and NPTH holes for snapping to the imported DXF in Camtastic. I keep the spacing of the mouse bites consistant and copy them to the DXF arc centers in groups. This way, I can be sure that the routing for the tabs has minimum radii consistant with the end mill (usually .093") * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To join or leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/subscrib.html * - or email - * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=leave%20proteledaforum * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Re: [PEDA] CAMtastic 2000 and DRC Checking Of Gerbers....?
Daniel, check out their website at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] They have a manual/documentation page but it is nowhere near finished, still has only 1999 Camtastic information. From my searches in the past most of the help on the site still refers to Camtastic 99, if you can't find the feature/tool they mention that's because it was probably moved in the 2000 DE version. They also have a Support - FAQ page which may help. Be sure to scan down the page because all of the FAQ topics are not listed in the top list. There are several more FAQ lists down the page and it is a long, long page. They also have a users forum with sign-up details outlined in their support pages. Sorry I can't help further but I didn't see anything in regards to your precise question.

[PEDA] CAMtastic 2000 and DRC Checking Of Gerbers....?
Hello All, Has any one tried using CAMtastic 2000 to perform design rule checking of the gerbers generated with Protel 99SE. I just gave it a shot and it tells me that I have pad to pad clearance problems. When I go in manually and measure the problem areas using the point to point measurement option in CAMtastic, it states that everything is within the defaults that I have set. Protel s Knowledge Base item number #2062 states that you can go to www.innovativecad.com for support but the web page seems to be down or missing. Any information will be gladly appreciated. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

Re: [PEDA] CAMtastic 2000 and DRC Checking Of Gerbers....?
John, I don't normally use Camtastic for DRC checking but I did try it once, I got the exact same result that you described. I didn't try fighting to figure it out after that. Camtastics current website is: http://www.camtastic.com/en/default.asp I checked it out just before posting and it is up and running.

Re: [PEDA] CAMtastic 2000 and DRC Checking Of Gerbers....?
Speaking of the Camtastic software, does anyone know where I can find some information on how to use this software. I tried to learn how to use it last week, but I could not figure out how to add break tabs to my panel. Is there a tutorial or manual for this software ? Documentation would be a great asset. I found the help menus quite limited.
