Problem Description:




Solution 1:

PLATFORM(s): All

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

SwapSig causes XDE to Crash

parameter, customers will have no way of knowing which nets will cause a
crash.

PC users can run XDE in a Microsoft Windows DOS box, and the crashes will
not occur. Workstation users should avoid using this command.
