#PROTEL 99SE FOOTPRINT LIBRARY FULL#

If this is not the case, you will be prompted to do this first. The import process requires all files, projects and project groups that are currently open in Altium Designer to be closed. Import Wizard - 99SE DDB Files Click to Expand. Save the changes, run Protel 99 SE, try loading a library, should work. Select 99SE DDB Files in the Import Wizard to import Protel 99SE DDB files. A NOP instruction is 90 in hexadecimal, hence the change. Select 'Create New Blank Component' (or you could copy an existing component and modify it to meet requirement) 4. In new library created from PCB right click inside the components window on PCB navigator tab. Change all bytes from offset 2690E to 26917 (= a total of 10 bytes that need to be changed) to 90. (New library should open with all parts in crrent PCB database included) 3.

So: get yourself a hex editor (I use 'HxD', it's free) and edit the 'Client99SE.exe' file. The call to SHGetPathFromIDListA does not do anything noteworthy, so I replaced all instructions related to that call with NOP instructions. The dialog gets confused and doesn't succeed in opening the file. But, a call to the windows function SHGetPathFromIDListA corrupts the memory where the filename is stored (it puts a zero where the string starts, which, in the null-terminated string world, means that the string is now suddenly empty).

The library dialog tries to concatenate the filename and path of the selected library file to obtain a full path to the library file that you want to add. Using the left mouse button, click on the first footprint listed in the Design. With the Design Manager panel on, select the 'Browse PCBLib' Tab while you have the Pcb Library file concerned currently selected. Quote (Copy of GuntherVB's post) Ok, I just spent a long day debugging Protel 99 SE (Service Pack 6) in OllyDbg to solve the problem of not being able to load the library files in Windows 7 ('File not recognized'). Open the pcb footprint library file (.lib'') you're interested in, and look at one of the footprints.
