Thanks Ed
Question for you regarding placement mode. I work remotely and when I click
on placement mode
it takes Allegro a minute or more to respond. As if it needs to check out a
license or download a module.
I don¹t see this if I¹m working on the corp network. This also happens when
I try to use the manual
place mode. Because of this delay I rarely use place mode. Is there a way
around this?
Thanks
Dave
