The Power Tool Pack includes... 

1.PCB Power Print
  A powerful new PCB print engine giving designers unprecedented control of the printing process through a range of highly specific printing and viewing options.
  Protel 99 PCB Power Print introduces a completely new print engine to Protel 99's PCB editor that gives you complete control over the printing process. Using PCB Power Print you can define precisely the mix of PCB layers you want to print, set the scaling and orientation, and see exactly how it will look on the page before you print it. 
  PCB Power Print also supports printing of the current PCB screen area and copying the current print preview to the Windows clipboard, making it easy to include PCB information in your documentation.
  Other features include:
  (1).User definable set of printouts 
  (2).User definable content for each printout - define which layers to include on each printout 
  (3).Print the current PCB screen region 
  (4).256 shade grayscale support 
  (5).Full color printing support 
  (6).Full compatibility with Windows print drivers 
  (7).Create and store multiple printer configurations between designs 
  (8).Copy printout contents to the Windows clipboard 
  (9).Save current printouts as Windows MetaFiles (WMF) 
  (10).Substitute each Protel PCB Editor font for any Windows fonts 

2.3D PCB Viewer add-on for Protel 99
  A sophisticated 3D PCB Viewer, with full rotational and zoom controls, which brings a new perspective to PCB design by allowing the designer to view their board design from any angle.
  The 3D PCB Viewer server adds a new dimension to PCB design with Protel 99. This server adds a new item to the PCB View menu called Board In 3D. When you select this menu item, a new window will open showing the current board as a rendered 3D image. You have full rotational and zoom control allowing you to view your board from any angle. The 3D Viewer uses an in-built component classification system based on a component's designator and footprint to automatically select an appropriate component model.

3.Protel 99 Interface for OrCAD?/sup> 
  A new Protel 99 Interface for OrCAD?/sup>, enabling the designer to import OrCAD?Capture and Layout designs to Protel's schematic and PCB editors.
  The Protel 99 SE Interface for OrCAD?/sup> allows you to import OrCAD?Capture designs into Protel 99's Schematic Editor, and OrCAD? Layout designs into Protel 99's PCB Editor.
  The Capture importer supports V7.x and V9.x schematic (*.DSN) and library (*.OLB) binary files.
  The Layout importer supports V9.x PCB (*.MAX) and library (*.LLB) binary files.

4.Protel 99 Mechanical CAD Interface add-on
  A Mechanical CAD Interface allows the import and export of DXF and AutoCAD DWG files directly from the PCB editor. 
  The Protel 99 Mechanical CAD Interface allows you to export and import from Protel PCB and Schematic files to AutoCAD DWG and DXF format files, and replaces the existing DXF export feature in Protel 99. The interface supports the following AutoCAD versions: V2.5, V2.6, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14. 
  Features include:
  (1).Import and Export from Schematic files to AutoCAD DWG and DXF format files
  (2).Supports all versions up to Release 14
  (3).Support for imperial or metric units
  (4).Option to import Blocks as schematic components or primitives
  (5).Option to specify the default line width mapping when importing AutoCAD files
  (6).Option to specify the scaling factor used when importing AutoCAD files
  (7).Support for exporting the current sheet only or all sheets in a project
  (8).Option to include the schematic sheet template when exporting to an AutoCAD file
