I went yesterday, and I must say it's as great (and welcome)of a change as
it was from version 2.8 to 98.
There are TONS of cool features. I only had 45 minutes to stay so I didn't
get into the meat of VHDL or the router, but I'm going to pony up the money
for this one.

Kevin,
export or convert your database information into a DBIII or DBIV
database and save this file for Protel linking issues. I would believe you
could do this much easier and faster then writing proprietary scripts to do
the same function.

Kevin,
I had Ian Wilson write a server that links all the fields except the read
only fields from an excel file. It works similarly to the linking function
inside Protel only this one works in under 8 hours. actually in seconds. It
will even fill the footprint field for you.
Ask him for it, it sho

Have they fixed the zomming so that is like the rest of the world out
there or is it still "anti-intuitive" (i.e.: place the cursor in the
left side of the screen and zoom out so that you can then place the
cursor in the right side of the screen and zoom in to the right).

Fading toolbars sounds nice, altho' I usually leave them in the lower-left
corner where they aren't in my way very often.
I have a toolbar button to toggle the "Design Manager" pane off & on -- I
think that's standard, but maybe I added it a long time ago. Does DXP allow
some sort of "auto-hide"

I think their zooming works fine. I usually have my hand on the
PageUp/PageDown keys for that, but now they have the Shift_Scroll wheel
working!! (or was that Ctrl-Scroll??) It's really fast to zoom around now.

Yes, from what I can remember they've incorporated several ways to hide
menus. If you bump the cursor against the side where the window pane is
located, it unrolls from the side. (This is user configurable of course, as
is everything else it seems)
The object selection has gotten more sophisticat

I just hope all this is REAL, as opposed to tricks, fluff, and things that
look great in a demo, but don't work in the real world.
Can you tell I'm suspicious of Altium, after several bad experiences
with previous Protel versions?

I can tell, and I've been there too (being a Protel customer since 1988)
I think it was a solid demo because I had them jumping all over the place
and trying this and that. It wasn't like they were doing things in a
specific order where they could control what was exercised and what wasn't.

Tony,
that is good alright but sometimes I think that their demo databases
have been so tested during development that they have just taken out any of
the offending issues if they couldn't fix them quickly. I have always found
that the only way to test a CAD system is at least 4 - 5 design

Like I mentioned before I didn't see much of the router really. I'm more
interested to so how it does on my boards when I get the chance. The new
integrated libraries look pretty good. You have one viewer that will show
you the sch and pcb representations at the same time.

So how are we going to ever re use two years of ddb files? if it is not
supported? Do I have to keep my 99SE version working forever now? I
just wrote an ISO procedure forcing everyone to include their schematics ,
gerbers, and all other project data with the ddb. It was a configuration
That's a good question. I would bet Protel has something that reads DDBs and
puts all the files in a directory. Maybe someone there would like to chime
in???
