Where are draft forum messages saved and how can they be recovered for further editing and posting?

I have noticed over at least the two preceding versions of V4 and the current version that whenever the Symbol Editor is invoked, approximately 99% of CPU time (as shown in the Task Manager and observed subjectively) is used by the Symbol Editor. I am using Windows XP SP 3. I thought might be relate...

I selected a LED (598-8310 107F) using Add Part. The schematic symbol looked rather strange, so I went to the Symbol Editor and loaded it. I found an "*" shown under the Section along with a repeat of the pin number. Anybody know what this means and how to use it (assuming one would wish to use it)?

<t>I have a component (actually a module) that has several ground connections. When I try to use the same name more than once, I get a popup window telling me this is not recommended butis allowed. However, the Editor will not allow me to use the duplicate name and defaults to the (next) default nam...

<t>Yep, I tried that too. But the shaded area then expands causing the pin info to be partially covered by the shape. I just created a test symbol and found that using a line shape did not cause this problem this time. Seems a little unpredictable. Again, I will send you along a file with notes on w...

Thanks for this info. Looking forward to further clean up and enhancements to V4. As I said, it is head and sholders better than V3. I am starting to get used to it now, and making some real progress on my design.

<t>It appears that the genesis for Version 4 of the Users Guide was Version 3. While this is certainly acceptable, it would be nice if the references to Version 3 were eliminated from Version 4. I refer, for example, to the mention of Version 3 beginning on page 15 of the V4 User Guide. It would als...

The problem is, I am actively trying to design a part on a deadline. I also want to try and see how things happen, but sometimes the string of events gets muddled. As I progress, I will send you the file along with some comments and see what transpires.

<t>I am designing a part and misnumbered the pins. I deleted all pins but number 1 and started again. However, the designer "remembered" the last pin used and would not let me restart numbering from 2. I had to use Properties to renumber each of pins as I reentered them. Is there a way to get the pa...

<t>As you are aware, the Symbol Editor will not let you save a schematic symbol without shape information. I was designing a very simple (rectangular) part with 68 pins (34 per side). I note the hatched area that comes up when you start the SE and see (though experimentation) that pins line up touch...
