So that is their idea of "open access". And i did want to try to give them the benefit of doubt. It is not a good year to play squeeze the customer.

Yup, they're Open Access files. You need a schematic editor that understands Open Access. I'm amazed at the responses: a text editor? Open Office? WTF?

Have you contacted the fab? What options do they offer?
