Don,
After some of the discussion yesterday I actually went to the Altium
site and watched some of those AD6.0 videos.
Over half of the operations performed in the videos happens by pure
magic, the operator doesn't actually do anything to get the resultant action or
the video doesn't show all of the actions performed. Most of the pages during
an operation are switched through so quickly, you can't even read which window
they are, let alone any of the details/options checked or set on those pages.
Often the pages change without any click or operation being shown by the screen
or described by the operator so you don't know how they got to where they were
going or even precisely where they ended up. The video is also quite often
lagging behind the description (on completely different pages than those being
discussed) by as much as 5 - 10 seconds.
In the video discussing schematic notes I really loved how one mouse
click near a bunch of resistors seemingly resulted in a suitable description
(not any existing text appearing in or around the area of the resistors) to be
added to a note. In other words the videos are little more than pure marketing
fluff. About as far from instructional as one can get, may as well just read
their release notes or feature sheets and take it for granted that it actually
works and is as simple as one can imagine.

If you haven't already done so the videos are well worth watching, there should
be a few more appearing shortly on Ad6 stuff, if they haven't already. Just
back
from hols so I haven't looked yet.
Cheers
Don
