Or is there another way around this ? I run EE Designer II on Win XP (both Home & Pro versions). I recall having some fairly minor problems but let me take a look what I've got. Won't be 'til later this evening, though. Can't remember if I got EE III running on XP (pretty sure that I did but its been a while). My current work flow is to do my board layouts in EE Designer II, then import into Cadint for Gerber file generation. I'll also do any ground plane stuff in Cadint - its such a breeze compared to what I used to have to do with EE II. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 22 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 2006) .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.
