Steve,
Tough question. Kind of relates to why you had held out this long. We
just upgraded most of our licenses (80%). Being relatively new at my position
here I was not responsible for the initial delay although my reasons would have
been just to let it get more stable and the former requirement to learn the
query language. If I was at my former employer I would have probably updated at
least a year ago, simply because you can't hold out forever or the upgrade path
is going to disappear just like they are doing now.
My answers to your question, it seems pretty stable these days and when
testing recently I was able to do global changes without problem, first try.
Without any sweat or tears, using the Find Similar Objects and Navigator
panels. Seems there have been some fairly large improvements in this
functionality.
Above and beyond that we were sometimes fighting with how to specify
very particular rules variations across a PCB. Now with the use of the rules
and queries, that should become less of a problem. There were just all of those
nagging P99SE functions that really didn't work as well, like shorting nets at
one star point to list just one.
Sincerely,

Subject: [PEDA] Worth it to upgrade to DXP?
UPS just drove in with a package of Altium's latest sales pitch to try to get
us old stick-in-the-mud 99SE users to upgrade by June 30. If all the
marketing-ese were actually factual, and all those features actually worked, it
just
might be worthwhile to upgrade. Can anybody here give any insight, pro or con,
on whether with SP3, DXP is finally worth the upgrade $$$??
