I have never seen any problems either with the router or the interactive in routing metric parts in English units or vice versa. I tend to agree with George what is to gain by switching back and forth? Keep the design in it started units works well here too My 2 cents -----Original Message----- From: Austin Franklin [mailto:austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 6:33 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Metric to English - English to Metric Hi George, > WHY switch back and forth? Some parts are metric, and others are imperial. It is easier to route metric BGAs on a metric grid, and then switch to an imperial grid when I get out of the BGA and are routing to imperial parts. > Why not just KEEP IT SIMPLE (K.I.S.S.) :) Hum. Well, to me, switching back and forth DOES keep it simple...that is if switching back and forth was simple ;-) Regards, Austin ----------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe/unsubscribe: Send a message to icu-pcb-forum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of subscribe or unsubscribe To view the archives of this list please login at //www.freelists.org.
