The skill program you described requires Valor output and a certain amount of the typical "new tool learning curve". I can appreciate the usefulness of this tool, but unless one is using it on a constant basis, I find that using the Export>subdrawing process works well as long as you utilize good communication techniques with your PCB fabrication vendor. I wish I had the resources and time to use such a tool, but very rarely find it advantageous to pursue this track unless you have a dedicated support system available. Jim S. Wages / SR.
