      Hi Natalia,

      Nice compilation.

      One more thing that troubles is less than and equal to limits of results recording. You can add following thread to this list

      Smaller than, greater than limits

      Best Regards,

      Great Job Natalia ! 😉

      This kinda compilation is surely gonna help people where FAQ can easily be reached. My suggestion is to add Sampling procedure (Scheme, Physical samples, Drawing procedures) in the list as they ain't that frequently asked but keep on flashing the wall quite often.

      Besides, Automatic Usage decision is another pain which is eligible enough to get itself in the list

      Regards,

      Nitin

      PS: Im sorry for not providing the related links. You gotta do a bit search more 😛

      I will be monitoring the threads and if something related to this topic appears I will add it here too.

      This is indeed a Great repository document. Before querying in SCN forum, this document should referred as a handbook, and check if it's helping or not. Hopefully, most of the common questions would be answered here.
