Protel DXP (Altium) - Do You Need PCB Designer - Examples Linked

I have 20 years experience in product design and PCB Fabrication processes (Design, FAB, Assembly, and Packaging). I have extensive experience with Protel (PCB Design) and Solidworks for 3D modeling (which can be exported various CAD Packages). As an EE I create the Schematic Libraries, Simulation Files, PCB Component Libraries, and Solidworks 3D Models of the components and PCB Assemblies. These 3D Models help to facilitate 'Form and Fit' before the PCB is manufactured. I design to IPC Standards and to DFM DRC Rules. Being and engineer allow minimal technical support, and I can work from the most rudimentary design concepts to produce the schematics and PCBs'.

I have the latest and greatest of workstations, software, and lab equipment. I work out of my home here in Salt Lake City for companies such as Visteon, Delphi, Tektronix, Iomega, and others doing contract design and PCB work. I specialize in rapid turnaround and work closely with PCB houses and CM for prototype and preproduction runs.

I have over 150 products successfully introduced to the marketplace in the following technologies: Embedded controllers, Embedded PC, Power Supplies (low power

I went to

Got a message complaining about my browser. Bad start. My browser is fine. I dislike sites that can't write simple html code to work with any browser. Google for example.

Entered site anyway. The first page turned my screen dark blue and wrote in very small print. Black text on blue is unreadable. I didn't bother going any further.

Yes, shame on him.

I fired up IE and tried again. Guess what, you can't go any further.

It seems to have been created with Powerpoint. 8-(

There are some images in there, but they are very small (one is 87 x

71 pixels, another 85 x 72 pixels), otherwise we could link to them directly and see what's going on.

OTOH, if you do use IE, and have the e-Drawings software, the Altium

3-D PCB representation is a cute trick.

Can that be exported as a solid model to a 3-D CAD program such as Solidworks? Does the IGES export function work acceptably well?

Same analysis here, except that the text is white. But in the end, a website that does not run under anything but IE is a VERY bad thing. Is it that hard to install at least mozilla and test your site with it?

I have to agree. I followed your links as well, but instead of a friendly invite I was told that my choice of browser is bad (Firefox). That's unfortunate.

Amazing what can be mucked up with a bad page. I have a tool that masquerades my firefox as "whatever by whoever

1.2.3.4". If the mentioned design achievements were real it shouldn't take that long to come up with a page that actually works.

Yes, wierd site. The images are too small to see anything, so you'd think they were thumbnails linking to larger ones with more explanation. But they don't.

Also, his grammar is terrible:

There is such a discrepancy between his claims and his actual work that I tend to judge by what I can see. Which is not very good.

It asked me to install a 3d plugin, which I did. Minutes later I got a rather coarse rendered board, that was almost impossible to rotate, and when it finally did rotate, I could not stop it. After that I went to

to see the main entrance. No usable information there, no links either.

He'd better make a couple of high res pictures of some of his nicest work, and simply put that on a page. This site does more harm than good, if you ask me.
