What problem? >2. ) I am also betting that the anti-intuitave panning is still there (yes >Ian, I know that you like it, and I know that you wrote a routine to fx it, >but it still is backwards and unlike no other system in the world). I'm getting a little tired of this one - *you* may think it is wrong, others don't. Why do you insist on implying that others are wrong? I think you could respect others opinions a little by phrasing your complaint not as a bug (which it clearly isn't) but as merely your preference. Re-centering after a zoom (which is your preference, the lack of which you are calling a bug) can be demonstrated to require a mental refocussing especially on large screens - so an argument could be made that Protel, by not re-centering after a pan (Home key) is better. No bug here. >3. ) I am also betting that Protel's "Print Dialogue" box is also still >backwards as compared to the rest of the world (For those that don't >consider the way that Protel handles printing a bug, go play with Adobe >Acrobat (or any other Windows Application) for a while then come back to >Protel to see how it it is not done right). You are not being clear here. What do you see as the issue? I can see differences between printing in all sorts of applications. What exactly do you not like in Protels Sch and PCB printing? >Also, show me one other major >application in the Windows world that has a Print Icon on a toolbar that >invokes a Printer Dialog Box that will not print anything at all, as the one >in the PCB 3-D View (It only does printer setup). Minor issue. We know that the 3D viewer, as it stands, is a premature, inadequate, bit of marketing fluff. Hardly worth commenting on it. >4. ) I guess my one real question will be what have the done with Schematic. >Will it still act like a bastard sibling that has been hastily patched into >a system where it is totally foreign "function" wise, or have they actually >taken the time to properly integrate it into the environment so that things >like panning, zooming, and function keys, will work the same as within the >other applications. Panning - home key works the same in both PCB and Sch. Right-click drag is not supported in P99SE Sch. What is your complaint? Zooming - the same in both PCB and Sch. What is your complaint? Function Keys - what would you like to be common across Sch and PCB? JaMi, fess up, cobber - you were beta testing (just like I was). Stop playing silly games. You know exactly what has been fixed and what hasn't.
