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

[[email protected]]

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 <1w to High Power 250,000w), Video Processing, LCD
Monitor (NTSC/PAL), CCD and CMOS Camera, USB, WiFi and Bluetooth, etc.
I am willing to share examples of these designs (scrubbed to protect
proprietary information).

I went to www.TaborEngineering.com

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.

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.

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 www.TaborEngineering.com 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.

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?


Best regards,

LOL! Thanks. That was funny

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:

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'.

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.
