But in fact, the schematic editor should not leave stray traces around, and should not disconnect if you move a part, and should not show connection dots if there is no connection. But otherwise I don't see how you can say > they haven't touched SCH for 15 years... I said most of the code. The user interface has changed. But each to his own - my comparison is based on using Protel for six months in 1996 and doing a month long project with Altium last year. It certainly has the highest quality in the mid-price range, and is popular for that very reason. And one can learn to use anything in time :) Cheerful regards, Bob -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
