Re: [PEDA] Good default settings
- check backup settings ( Arrow | Preferences ) -- 2 kinds, Create backup files makes backups whenever you save; and Auto-Save settings are timed, and can be directed to any drive/folder you want. - Also on Arrow | Preferences, check Save Preferences (may be default). - I think the default contents for a layer stackup legend were odd. On a PCB, choose Tools | Layer Stackup Legend. Click once to place one corner, then hit Tab to get the options dialog. You've got to set them before you click to place the second corner! - On any .sch, do Tools | ERC, go to Rule Matrix tab, and review/update the matrix; main recommendation here is to make all Unconnected pairings into warnings or errors, instead of OK. - Learn to customize the toolbars, how to add buttons, hotkeys, change menus, etc. One of Protel's greatest strengths is how customizeable it is!! -Original Message- From: Ivor Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 30 May 2002 2:09 AM As with all software, I might expect some of the default settings for Protel 'out-of-the-box' to be a bit mad.

[PEDA] Good default settings
Hi Everyone! Our Financial Director finally sent off our order for Protel today and I can't wait to get into it. I know most of you guys have been using it for years but think back to when you first started using it... As with all software, I might expect some of the default settings for Protel 'out-of-the-box' to be a bit mad. Are there any particular preferences to check after install to give me good settings to start with?

Re: [PEDA] Good default settings
It's been a while since I've installed Protel, but from memory: Schematic editor Preferences/Graphical Editing/Convert Special Strings is not checked by default. So you will see things like '.DATE'instaed of the current date. 'Add template to clipboard' (in Schematic editor Preferences/Graphical Editing) is another one to confirm, if you only want to copy a little part of a schematic to some other application (like MS Word) make sure this box is un-checked. I'm sure there were others.
