Dear users> I've installed protel but when I open the chip capacitors or resistor library protel shows me a wrong visualization specially with the top overlay lines (yellow lines) which are around the pads of the chip drawing. I applied the sp2, sp3 and sp4 and nothing happens, and the problem is only with these libraries.
Thank for your help.
