Re: Step & Repeat (panelisation)

There are dangers to doing this before export, not least that the PCB won't correspond to the schematic. In particular therefore, I would not recomment you try this with live netlisting switched on. As Dennis mentioned you also must not clear the netlist because you will lose plane connections. You ...

Re: Gerber View Import CadCam Error

You can't create a panel consisting of PCB's with different layer sets because the panel can only have one layer set.

Re: Aligning objects (Ctrl-A command)

Alignment works based on the specified extremity of the tagged group rather than to a particular part in the tagged group. align.png I'll log the reference part request on our tracking system for consideration. Note however that you would still have to specify which extremity of the reference part y...

Re: Edge Connector pads generating DRC errors

In the current release version (8.7) you can ignore the rules manually by right clicking on the rule in the DRC Viewer window. One of the main features in the version currently in beta (8.8 ) is design rules by area. This allows you to draw out a room, give it a name and then create a rule with clea...

Re: BOM and company ERP system

ADI to library is possible and a viable alternative to the above, although there's a little bit of scripting involved. I can mail you a sample script and talk through in more detail if this option is of interest. Please send us a mail to support @ labcenter.com and we'll go from there.

Re: Resist dimming?

OpenGL will almost certainly be faster in the 3DV on a modern PC and would be our first choice.

Re: Surface area of copper zones

Hi Chris,

Not at present. Could you tell us why this would be useful ? Would you want largest contiguous area or accumulated area if multiple copper islands exist ?

Thanks,
Iain.

Re: Not reporting DRC for unconnected Net

Proteus has no way to know which pins should be connected together on the schematic. It is very common that multiple pins are not connected to anything in a given design - there are no 'nets' for such pins because there are no connections. If this is a concern or you wish a way to audit the schemati...

Re: Importing project clips.

If the project clip is 'schematic+layout' then you should see the layout section ready for placement once you have imported the schematic section into your sub-circuit. You don't need to import the clip again onto the layout - it will appear in the component selector automatically when you import th...
