Michael,
From your comments I find myself a little mystified. If you have all of
these problems why have you not made enquiries on this forum, your name or
email is unfamiliar?
To address your comments, I can't comment on Spice or PLD programming,
not my field. 3D Rendering in 99SE is just a bad joke or toy option. However
the general Schematic and PCB functions are very workable and reliable. I have
been using 99SE for 6 years, yes there are a few little quirks where you can
get into troubles (mainly because of a different manner in which people are
used to doing things from other CAD packages, they get newbies from other
systems all the time) but most are very easily dealt with by minor changes in
the manner you do operations. Raise your issues and I am sure most everyone
that is normally here will jump in to assist.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander

The whole problem really is that PROTEL 99SE sucks. I don't mean to be vicious
about it, but it just doesn't work reliably. I've used it on several platforms
on more that one computer and it just doesn't do what the manufacturer tells
you it will. Sure it looks good, but it simply isn't. $5000-7000 is just too
much money for ANYTHING that doesn't work.
Yes, it has lots of bells and whistles. It has a PSPICE simulator, 3-D
rendering, and PLD programming. But the PSPICE is awful, the PLD only seems to
support a few chips, and what is the point of 3-D rendering? I spend at least
half an hour every day working on things that PROTEL screws up. The only good
thing I can say about it is that it recovers well from catastrophic failure.
