Hi Peder,
after beta testing the DXP, I suggest to upgrade, if protel is the tool
you do your daily work.
Nevertheless you should know :
- DXP is a new system, you have to invest some time to learn new methodes.
- the global select and change is fully changed, also not fully understood,
I can do significantly more with this. You can build logically expressions
for example items between min and max values to overcome some rounding
problems.
- library items have a 'unique id' it is now possible to identify footprints
and parts
for their version.
- You can make variants of your board, that means you can give a part a
parameter if
present or not or what value in different variants of the board.
- Integrated libraries enables you to be sure, that the right schematic part
is linked
to the correct footprint and even simulation model if you want.
- The DDB is aborted. You have a design file, which only contains the links
to the work files.
That means, loading is extremely faster than 99SE ever could be.
- The new router seems to be better, tests are going on.
- The simulation works if you use correct models.
These are some of my personal impressions. Maybe this points are not the
major highlights.
Again, this is not a simple upgrade, but a new system. I admit, that I not
fully understand
some important features till now and keep on learning.
Sooner or later 99SE is the old and DXP the new system. You depend on
assistance, maintenance
und upgrades, so you have to go the way invest your time and money to the
new system.
I bought the upgrade and estimate to run it parallel to 99SE until the begin
of next year.
Then I want to switch over.

Hi all DXP users.
Is the variants and vesrion control in DXP worth the upgrade ?
Which other things in DXP gains the value comparing to 99SE ?
Let me hear what you think.........
