Markus,
I guess I will have to see if I run into the same troubles as I learn
but it seems that with a feedback to the parent company they would
likely fix it in an update if they thought it would generate sales. I
hate to be the "beta tester" as I have done enough of that over the
years and in most cases its a thankless job. I like the user friendly
feel I got from DipTrace as I made progress in 10 minutes and hadn't
even looked at the help file. With Eagle I felt confused a lot and that
was even ∗with∗ using the help file.
Regards,
Dave
