Nice job. About the active x thing, I managed to gain access to your page by going into into Tools-Internet Options-Security-Custom Level and then scrolling down to active x and making everything on 'prompt'. Now when I go to your page, a few (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Bingo! There's my problem: not enought constraints. I have been using very few constraints to make my wires, because I thought they turned out better that way - boy was I wrong! Thanks a million for the tip! David J. Perdue (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Larry is right. The cross sections are not overlapping as they are supposed to. This can happen if the wire is bent too hard, or the constraints are too far apart. LPub uses a large fixed size array when synthesizing between any two (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
