Mira I agree, I also have OrCad 10. Very different from the easy to use earlier versions and get this. like DXP the global edits suck. I never linked the two. Is Protel following OrCad, with global edits? Now they are the same product. I would never go back to the DOS program, even

Given the description below, a simple text editor search-and-replace seems unlikely to work. But the outlines, as described, will differ consistently in that the assembly drawing outline will always be the smaller of the two. Thus it should be possible without too much difficulty to sort them

The PCB II OrCAD was pretty poor. However, SDT3 was awesome. The 386+ versions were even better - I'm PROUD to say that I still maintain a few old designs using SDT386+ and PCB386+, and I enjoy doing it, too! Steve. -Original Message- From: Mira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 June

Yes it is interesting, since PCB design magazine had indicated that there were about 26,000 designers/engineers subscribed to PCD in the whole world before it became PCDM magazine... Having 3 times the number of designers out there using the software seems a bit of a stretch. I tend to think the

I'd use mylar and tape if I could turn boards as fast and as cost effectively as with Protel. Unfortunately, doing 6 mil trace and space could be somewhat frustrating ;-) Ultimately 2004 has to pay for itself eventually if its going to be worth upgrading. From what I've read thus far, it would be
