The odd thing is that I already know of 4 other Protel designers locally. Like

It's not a bug in Windows or Protel -- it's simply a design decision someone
at Protel made. There are times when it's useful to run multiple copies of
Protel, so it's good that they allow that. Since you can use drag-n-drop
from Explorer to open a file in an existing instance, it's not unreason

Don't know of any in the Toronto area, but most Service Bureaus have
"global" clients, and experienced designers are quite adept at asking
the important questions. And most have Autocad or CadKey to help
resolve mechanical issues.
Schematic compatibility isn't necessarily an issue; unless a schem

Any Protel designers in the Toronto area?
Hi, I am a lurker (engineer) that was considering Protel because I work
with a MFR that uses Protel, but I wanted them in the loop only AFTER the
first prototypes were built. This list has made me realize that the

Sometimes when you attempt to update the changes back to your schematics, the
update function does not work. I had this problem ages ago when attempting to
edit data in spreadsheet and it seemed only the first attempt ever worked. If
you did a couple of export/edit/update cycles then it just wou

hello.. im running the trial verion of 99SE w/sp6 as im building a

After my partner drew up our schematic, I took a look and realized a
majority of the parts had the wrong default designator.. (Few hundred

David,
Check to make sure that the schematic sheet server is still installed.
Click the down arrow next to the FILE menu item then select SERVERS. I have
more than once lost various servers from the list for no apparent reason and

Newer versions of M$ Windows ( 95 and so on) "understand" longer extentions, e.g.

nearly unregarded, because you get in trouble when you have files of different types
but with the same "name".

As an aside...
Why don't companies use longer file extensions in an attempt to minimise
collisions? .sch has always been a pain, .schematic would be much more
reliable. Admittedly this is diminished with the database file.
