all, A community site for PCB designers and engineers and IC Packaging designers and engineers has just been launched this morning at http://www.cadence.com/community/allegro/index.aspx. The former community sites of specctraquest.com and allegrosi.com have been consolidated into this new site which also adds a section and forum on SKILL. The forum "PCB Design" will be the most appropriate forum to discuss SKILL. This forum will be monitored by Cadence, but will not be a "Cadence support site", designed more for users to help users. You can also access this new website through your bookmarks from www.specctraquest.com, www.specctra.com, and www.allegrosi.com Linda Meyer, moderator, Allegro si Community ________________________________ From: Clyde Sprowl [mailto:pwb_engineer@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 9:41 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Skill School? They have their own message board. This list is not affilliated with Cadence. It is independent of Cadence, and not under their oversight or control.

I was trying to remember where I saw such things... on your webpage, of course! Your assign_net is too long for my use (2 clicks and a pop menu access, mine (Dave one's) is only one click.) But it probably does not have the same goal. And your advanced DRC is not free :-( But it seems to be exactly what we need... William. PS I am already registrered at Yahoo Skill School. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Uri Chaplianka" To : Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 4:53 PM Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: vias hole and SMT pads > > Hi William ! > > On http://skill.freespaces.com/ you can find some SKILL Utilities that > can help you. > > If you can't use "SameNet DRC" ( it create a lot of stupid DRC) but > need to know where Via which touch pad you can use "ADV_DRC" > If you use "via in pad " you can use "VIA_IN_PAD_GBR " > > Regards, > > Uri Chaplin > > P.S.
