Colleagues: We have tried Adiva DFM tools here at Lockheed but they are difficult to use and currently only come in a UNIX version that works poorly with WIN XP. I am interesting in hearing from my peers on experiences with different possibly better tool for validating PCB designs. We do the back end design with Allegro 15.2 Thanks in advance Steven Salkow Lockheed IS&S 3130 Zanker Rd, San Jose Ca. 94588 (408) 473-4058 steven.salkow@xxxxxxxx salkow@xxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: http://www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: http://www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
