Thanks again Bert. I made a note of your calcs. Looks like the vac table could end up costing more than the mill...

If you already have compressed air, the generators are pretty cheap, 30-60 dollars. If not then they can get pricy to set up. I've used this in the shop for a vac jig:

But I think double sided tape may work just as well for what you are doing.

The glass is not half full or half empty, Its twice as big as needed for the job!

Cheaper than I thought. Looks like I will be ordering one.
The problem with double sided tape is the thickness, it is not consistent. For through the hole stuff it is fine, but for SMD a thousandth or two makes a big difference. Super glue works "OK". Either one is slow. So for the one or two offs it is doable... any kind of production....
But it is still better than the chemical solution.
Thanks again Bert!!!

Need help from those who know :)
I posted this on the labcenter forum, but after 3 days, still no love. All you folks are much more responsive so I thought I would ask here.
As a brand spanking new user of ISIS and ARES and VSM, I am stumped on my first circuit. I need to use 2 IC's, neither of which are in the library's. First is a MAX3311, second is a TD62783AP. Now I can create these for the schamatic and PCB purpose, but how should I go about Simulating my circuit? Should I just put something in thats close (like a dual RS-232 driver for the 3311). Or do I create them as I know how, but somehow leave them out of the SIM?
Thanks for any help on this NON-PBP question

Your best bet is to use a similar replacement. To make a new device will require an NDA with Labcenter and intimate knowledge of SPICE.
The Labcenter forum is mostly professionals, so there is very little activity on weekends. Also, they won't give support until you "prove" you are a real customer, and not using a demo or pirated copy.

Thanks tenaja. I kinda figured I would just need to not sim thoses parts. Won't really matter, just wanted to see if I was missing something.
As for the "other" forum, I have proven my willingness to pay for the software, as such have the proper label as "professional bla bla bla". This I find very funny as I clearly am not. Maybe in a couple years, but not now.
I was giving them the benifit of the weekend, but then as I saw posts this morning, I thought I would just post here instead. With happy results

Re: Proteus Software
Just an update. So far I am very happy with the proteus software. It proved invaluable to sorting out the logic needed to get my home switches working correctly. And the PCB side of things is just awesome.
As long as the limitations are kept in mind, using it parallel with an actual board is just the cats meow!
Check me off as a happy customer
