All, I received two manuals in a separate shipment ...a few days after I received my installation CD. I don't have them in front of me right now since I am not in my office. One THICK manual was for the 2004 product, and the other I believe was for PLD stuff. Either manual is twice as thick as the original DXP manual. Altium heard our complaints and responded. Who cares if it increased the cost of the product. The manuals are worth it. So far I have used DXP for two PCB designs. A few things (global selection is one) are clunky, but overall, very good. And I found nothing left out from 99SE. The impedance driven traces are really cool. I would like to see the same for temp driven traces ( even willing to pay for this as an add on). I am trying to convince another company to switch to 2004 , it is that good
