Hi,
We use "\". In PCAD you can type it once at the end.
In Protel you have to type it after each character to
get the same but it's possible. I don't see any
problems with Protel itself.

Hi,
Protel 99SE has, under options/preferences/graphical editing, a single negation
check box.

Thanks.
Did you mean Tools/preferences?
I checked it but it behaves differently.
When "\" is placed at the end it draws the line only
after the last character.
To get a single neation on the whole string I had to
type "\" in front of it.
I like this flexibility.

it doesn't read well when it is a net label and stacked up on wires

Normally, Rout
wait till you try printing on various devices
as you may tell from this thread most (?) of us are not using that "\"
because of "issues" (love that word, it so neutral!)

With a schematic open, it's tools/preferences. With a library open you get the
same dialog with options/preferences. And yes the single negation is
prerfixed.

Anybody know if there would be a problem using a dash (minus sign) as a
prefix?

i saw this happen when i used teardrops with arcs. it did not happen with
tear drops with lines however. just a thought.

Ouch! 5 mils clearance from a plane is much more difficult to fab than 5
mils clearance between ordinary objects, because the plane clearance is

I think it works, but as another mentioned, WR will be sorted in a
different place than -WR.
Personally, I use an asterisk at the end, not because it is necessarily
HI all
with regards to below:
scoring (or v-grooving) is a cheaper way to manufacture boards as the
scoring tool has to remove less material, so it can move a lot faster. The
boards will be a lot cheaper with this method. The tradeoff is that you need
more clearance from copper and components to

right, but keep in mind that the location of the V groove is not as
accurate as routing so that may be an issue in some boxes
(in fact i had a few large bds once with the V groove going diagonally
across the whole thing! must have slipped)
anybody know any scientific method of specifying V groov

hmmm... I would suggest that your mechanical design should take into account
the inacurracy associated with the v-grooving, again it is application
specific, but getting too tight with PCB's is fraught with danger, not sure
what the CTE of FRx is, but can't be too good.
It sounds like a tough cal
i'm sure you are right about that
you can groove on one side or two, sometimes they like to see a dwg
showing the depth of the groove
it is a little sloppy but it saves material and break apart cleanup time

I'd like to draw graphical dashed lines in a schematic to indicate guard
traces which should be placed during PCB layout. Is there a way to do this in
Protel 99SE SP6?

You could put a dashed *line* set to the same colour as the template
background over the *wire*.
It shows up ok-ish.
I've used this method before to show green/yellow earth wire in a wiring
loom diagram. Using 'medium' sized green wires with 'small' yellow lines as
the stripe.

Sure, but they are only visual indicators, not intelligent wires. Use the
"Place-DrawingTools-Line" and you can draw dashed lines all day. When you
start the first segment, press tab and change the line style to "Dashed". As
you place, it will look solid, but when you're done, they will be dashed.
Sure. Begin placing a Graphical Line (NOT a wire) on the schematic,
then hit the Tab key to open the polyline properties dialog box. Pull
down the line style tab and select dashed or dotted as desired.
Once finished with the dashed line, you'll have to reselect solid line.
