thanks ian. i'm not a full-time protel person. writing digital
test programs
is my main job. i needed 3 boards for a interface between the board
we
were testing and the test bench and we had lost the person we had
who
did board work, so we ended up buying protel.
learning protel turned me into a pcb magnet... anybody that needed
one
came to me. we even picked up a significant legacy job where all
the
spares were shot and they needed new ones built, but all they had
were
drawings, and no actual gerbers. i've been doing about one board
every
three weeks.
i enjoy using the protel software and i think its a good package,
even if
it is a bit unstable. one thing i've found out is that there is
always
something new to learn. another thing i've learned is that the
answer is
usually here on the email group, and not in the protel
documentation.
<grin>
