Re: [PEDA] Auto Placing
Not really helpfull, I know : I was never able to have it working somewhat properly at all. Look at the autoplacer as 'experimental' gadget, and proceed manually to have the job done. I admit I lost the patience after a few hours of trying.

Re: [PEDA] Auto Placing
Danny, If you want to do a quick and dirty see if it fits: Select all components Interactive place in RECTANGLE Then draw a rectangle All of the components will fall inside your drawn rectangle, you may have to experiment a little to get spacing Mike Reagan EDSI - Original Message - From: Danny Bishop [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Protel EDA Forum' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 8:52 PM Subject: [PEDA] Auto Placing HI All I have a very tight design, and want to see whether I can physically fit all my components on the board - this seems to be an appropriate use of the auto placer.

Re: [PEDA] Auto Placing
thanks Mike I tried that, and it is a good help, but it places SMD pads on top of through hole pads (SMD on bottom side, and T on top side) cheers Danny -Original Message- From: Mike Reagan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 4 July 2002 12:15 PM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] Auto Placing Danny, If you want to do a quick and dirty see if it fits: Select all components Interactive place in RECTANGLE Then draw a rectangle All of the components will fall inside your drawn rectangle, you may have to experiment a little to get spacing Mike Reagan EDSI - Original Message - From: Danny Bishop [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Protel EDA Forum' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 8:52 PM Subject: [PEDA] Auto Placing HI All I have a very tight design, and want to see whether I can physically fit all my components on the board - this seems to be an appropriate use of the auto placer.
