Re: [PEDA] problem w/ ports on Protel Schematic Service pack 6
Bill, A couple things... I just did a little checking... maybe this applies to your situation. I placed a long port... saved the schematic and then re-opened it and turned the OrCad ports option on. The port size changed to the OrCad size port(length 70). I closed the schematic(no save) and re-opened it... still OrCad size... Turned the option off... still OrCad size... Closed the Schematic and re-open it... back to normal(long port). Turn OrCad Ports back on and save schematic and repeat above and the size does NOT recover. When you turn the OrCad ports option off I did not see the ports change back immediately, to see the change you have to close the schematic(without saving it) and re-open it while the option is turned off... this will restore them to their original size. If you saved the schematic while the OrCad ports option was on, then I believe it also saved the ports at their current size, and they would have to be changed back manually. I hope this helps. If you saved it while the option was on... you may be able to get going from a back-up copy. -- Colby Siemer** Custom Battery Chargers ** Custom Power Supplies PowerStream Technology ** Custom UPS 140 S.

Seems to not make a difference whether it's on when I open it or off.

Watch out for the ORCAD port interpretation being clicked on under Tools/preferences. I have see this play with ports in this manner.
