Chris,

We have found PADS PowerPCB to be quite buggy - try using the split
power plane
function! There are also bugs in the gerber output.

The technical support is not particularly good, either they have to =
call
the
States or we work it out ourselves.

Our version is 2.1 what are you working on?

Regards,

Richard Patrick
PCB Design Engineer,

I am happy to say that PADS PowerPCB is about a bug free as they come
and their tech support guys really do take our suggestions to heart and
implement them in a timely manner. Go, PADS!!!
