Altium Designer 6 (Formerly known as Protel DXP 7) is a huge and expensive software package used for drawing circuit schematics and laying them out as printed circuit boards.

Known bugs and tricks:
 * You'll need Daniel Sigg's library of parts ([[http://ilog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu:7285/advligo/AltiumLibraryDaniel|LIGO_sigg.IntLib]]) to manipulate any schematics that have come from Hanford.
 * (Ver 6.7.9346)  When placing multiple sheet symbols corresponding to the same underlying design, or trying to do a multi-channel repeatition of a sheet symbol (using REPEAT), Altium will not notice the duplication of the sheet part if it has no ports.
