Hi All, I've had a problem recently using the Update PCB function under the Design menu of Schematic Capture. What is happening is that not all the components...
Hi Again, Will Protel 99SE SP6 load and run properly in Windows Vista? We're looking at a new computer but don't want an OS that won't run Protel. Thanks, Fred...
Fred, I believe it will run under Vista okay. But you will need the appropriate Vista add-on files for running older less than 64/32 bit programs. Someone else...
Fred, I don't think this is exactly your problem but it may be contributing to it. Do you have a PCB outline drawn on the Keepout layer? When P99SE brings in...
Ooops,made an error. Should have been. Without the PCB outline on the keepout layer it tends to bring the same parts somewhere way up in the upper RIGHT corner...
... First of all, I doubt that this problem has to do with Win XP. There are lots of things that can cause components to be placed in unexpected places. P99SE,...
I'm trying to setup a title block in the schematic editor using Altium DXP 2004. I've filled in the options such as 'drawn by' and 'organination' etc. in the...
Dear All, I am using the AD6 to open up my gerber file by using the CAM document system. When I select the gerber by using the quick load immediately I got a...
It Looks Like this list blocks attachments. You should install the service packs to get up to 6.8 or at least 6.7. Regards, Darren PS The Altium forums are a...
Hi Everyone Protel had a free PCB viewer on their website. They do not have this program anymore on their site. I need this program. Please help me, send...
Hi, You've posted the error message, not the gerber files. Without seeing the files it's hard to tell if the program has a problem or something on your files...
Mira & Lazlo, If the subject line is correct, I don't believe that Altium ever had a viewer specifically for P99SE. DXP & AD yes, but P99SE not that I can ever...
Hi Brad, I think you are correct that there is no viewer specifically for Protel99 but the DXP could read the old files. As far as I can there was no problem. ...
yes, I wish ALtium wouldnt be so stingy about issueing the viewer. I have had several customers tell me how good the program looks aftert they open the...
Michael, I have never heard of anyone having a problem obtaining the viewer program and licensing it. They simply want to establish and record contact...
Brad, Michael, Mira Thanks for your help. I tried to find the viewer on Altium's site. It writes about the benefits to have it, but no download. One of my...
Lazlo, I haven't heard that it is not available but the likelihood could be very high since they just released version 6.8 software. I do recall seeing...
Hi Guys, I'm sure you can still get the viewer for AD, but it can't open 99SE files. Bottom line is you have to be using an AD licence to be able to use the...
Hi Darren, Would you know why the current version wouldn't open P99SE files? Seems it should or what is the procedure to open a P99SE file in current AD...
When I used the viewer it did not directly support Protel-99SE. You had to import the files first with the associated risk of data getting lost and/or ...
Hi Brad, I don't have the viewer installed, so I can't be sure what the deal is, I have just been told by other users that it can't open 99SE files. Maybe they...
... IMNSHO, Altium has this concept upside down and backwards by trying so hard to control the free viewer. Just look at Adobe for an example of how it's done:...

HI Brad, I had two clients that expressed trouble. I wish I had more information exactly what the problems were. As I mentioned, it forces my clients to...
Hi. I was tossed into maintaining a batch of PCBs with no training other than a generally positive attitude about a year ago. The designs are all in our PCB...
