There
is a valuable lesson amongst this for the Altium lurkers.
This
sort of flexibility and ease of use has always been Protel's big advantage for
board designers like me.
(and
I've used that other package too..)
Don't
go down the path of making the tool overly complex and cumbersome to use. I
don't want to waste time fighting with the application.
Quick
global edits need to be quick and easy when needed and I need to be able to
highlight nets in the net colour, properly, as in 99Se. I'm not personally
interested in FPGA design, but need to be able to bring in pin assignment into
library symbols from 3rd party software (there is a script that helps do this)
a better Autorouter would be nice, but the ability to export to Specctra or
Electraroute suits me fine.

Subject: RE: [PEDA] Message to Altium !!!I agree whole-heartedly with Cliff, as i was previously a mentor-expedition user..... I appreciate Protel a lot more now as it enables me to do what i want on the fly, including breaking the odd rule here and there when i need to - without having the software tell me what to do.
