Hi all, I recall seeing something on this in the forum some time ago but forget what the details were. If I create oddball pad shapes with 'tracks' I seem to have lots of trouble. The primary one is related to DRC violations when parts are imported to pcb. Even if I have "assign net to connected copper" switched in, I still seem to have to manually mess with the component and primitive net assignment to 'bed' it in. How is this done without pain and grief and without exploding the component to discrete primitives? All copper is 'connected' physically to an official protel 'pad'. Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist. =================================== While on the general subject, I do wish --- The "Update PCB" utility stored ALL the options when an edit session is closed. Often get caught with having to clean up junk on pcb the next morning when I forget to kill off all the synchronisation switches I rarely use. That unique .cfg file-names were guaranteed for .sch & .pcb. Use of same file-name for small sch-->pcb following the cues that Protel itself provides causes .cfg settings to be shared (I don't know the details) and much confusion prevails - the most annoying being that "annotate" in schematic crashes completely - every time. Different sch & pcb file-names - no problem.
