[PEDA] Keepouts

2003-10-07 Thread Dave . Watling
Hi, I wish to prevent a polygon from pouring in a certain area. I have used a fill as a keepout on that layer, but I then get DRC errors showing shorts where I have put the fill over tracks. I also get DRC clearance errors where the fill is under a component. Is there a neater way of doing this

I would definitely try running Regclean to clean up your windows registry - seems to alleviate most random crashing. You can find it using an internet search. David Watling

Hi Heeter, You need to set up the film size in the 'Gerber output' properties in the CAM manager. You will find this under the 'Advanced' tab in the properies dialog box. Regards Dave

Re: [PEDA] BOM sorter version 6 now!

2003-06-27 Thread Dave . Watling
Hi Dennis, I have looked at your suggestions, and I have made 1 change to the program, so it now always puts in the hyphen for consecutive designator numbers, whilst stripping similar prefixes. The other suggestions are noted, but I will have to put them on the back-burner for now. Your comment

[PEDA] Attachments (BOM sorter)

2003-06-26 Thread Dave . Watling
Hi Abd, If you look back at the first e-mail I sent on this subject, I believed it was going to be rejected, so I asked people to e-mail me directly. I think the attachment rejection still works on attachments greater then a certain size, since an example file I sent got rejected before I zipped

Hi all, Look, no attachments! If you want version 5, you can either e-mail me directly at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or, if you know your way around the VBA editor, you can simply replace all the code in the module called 'BOM_sorter' with the listing below. Regards David Watling Public Const

Hi Brad, I would suggest you have your macro security set to 'high' in Excel. This will disable any loaded macros, without any prompts. Set your macro security to 'medium' (if you trust me!) This is found in Tools->Macro->Security Regards David Watling
