Has anyone on this list had much luck with the Protel circuit simulator? Having mentioned it in passing a week or so ago, I've decided that since I've got it I may as well be using it, but I'm having an annoying problem. (P99se6, win2k, access ddb, single sheet schematic, stock sim components)

The best way to do this is to call your fab and ask them how they want the information provided. A slot, or rectangular hole, is done at the fab by using a routing bit - usually after the board is complete, but before finish plating and masking. Your fab will have its own procedures and
