Minimum case sizes?

Post by agulliver »

I've tried inputting size information for a couple of designs but get a message telling me the height (30mm) is outside the limits for the software. Is there anywhere I can find out these limits?

Thanks,

andy

You are welcome, thanks for pointing out a piece of information that was missing. I will be adding it to the resources webpage at http://www.protocasedesigner.com/resour ... erials.php and future versions of protocase designer will give more useful error messages.
