Altium
that is the default option of you use a pirated copy
Altiums checker is very good. in all my board designs i have never had problems with missing connections. If the schematic is correct the board is correct.
Get bent free... It was a joke, hence the winky smiley face
I'm not sure what is implied here?
It appears to me that he has disabled all warnings for all violations, for what appears to be pure laziness.
What does this have to do with Piracy? Do the people who provide the pirated software set the settings like this in hopes to spite you?
I do agree about the checker though, it is very good, I have had no issues ever aside from those related to user error. Even vast updates to schematics from changing the PCB and pushing the change to the schematic has been trouble free (I have encountered errors/issues with other programs here).
bingo. hidden pins should be made illegal and fined !
Fined? I say it's time to bring back public corporal punishment...
YAY . stocks, tar and feathers.
Agreed, it was one of the first things I learned when looking at schematics, this is a brief summary of a conversation I had with a colleague whom I tended to avoid afterwards.
Q "Where are the supply pins on that 7400 series?"
A "Oh, they're taken care of, don't worry."
Q "What the heck do you mean taken care of, don't worry? What if i want to see what it's connected to, or make sure it IS connected or change where it's connected? Why does it have to be hidden? If it is too annoying to have on each part of the chip (assuming multi part component EG, IC1A, IC1B, IC1C, IC1D) can't you at least have it as another part of the component off on a different page or somewhere more discreet?"
A "Nah, why would you want to do that anyway?"
I am quite trusting of the checker in Altium, but that doesn't mean I don't manually check as much as I can before I send out the gerbers.
Usually i print the gerbers out on A3 transparencies, then join the dots with different coloured dry erase markers.
