Harry, Mike,
This whole thing is getting blown out of proportion. I posted the
details that I did because there were different stories being debated when it
came to what Altium was supposedly quoting various users with regards to the
upgrade. When I received my solicitation I could see between the lines of what
others were saying. So I posted it to aid in understanding the current pricing
situation and sorting some of the various comments that were coming out.
I do seriously think that Altium is acting maliciously and without
regard towards their customers. Sure their software is worth more than it used
to be but not more than doubling the price in the past 4 - 5 years. Not when
you only look at the core features of Sch & PCB design. For those two tools
they are quite quickly pricing themselves out of the market.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander

P.S. Mike, I am not sure if this email was the one you were commenting about
possibly not getting though earlier, it is the first that I have seen in this
thread. May be email problems at our end though.

Subject: [PEDA] Missing Internal Pads on ODB
Brad,
I am not dismissing your comments ( "dis") however the missing pads from the
internal layers may not be a bug. The ODB specification may not require
them to be generated. I do not have a copy of the ODB spec to give you the
definitive answer. We never generate gerbers with internal unconnected pads
since the fabricator automatically removes them. The ODB output may be correct
as generated.
Mike Reagan
