Hi David, super good tips, thank you again for writing this up. Am envious you're in Altium-land ... I just don't do enough EE design=20 work to warrant the jump from Eagle. The Altium demos are awesome, it=20 is so clearly way way ahead of Eagle, but alas. I spend too much time=20 dealing with firmware and not strictly EE design. :) Cheers J David VanHorn wrote: > On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 1:54 AM, Jesse Lackey = wrote: >> Hi - thanks for the description.
