   A while back PCB Libraries, Inc. offered a CD training video for PADS (Blaze) Router. Is it still available?

Yes, we still have the PADS Router training tutorial that comes with a workshop demo board and videos that clarify how to use the auto-router. However, it was created for the "Blaze Router" back in 2003 and any new features are not in the training video. But I think it's still one of the best training resources for the PADS Router. We spent over 500 man hours creating it (big project).  
   
  There are two different versions - and they're both absolutely FREE! Just follow the links below to download! They're both about 270MB in file size. The download links for the files:   216MB - BlazeRouter Basic Training 101   258MB - BlazeRouter HSD Training 102 (you need to be logged in, registration is absolutely free!)  |

   I went to download the files but its say they are reserved for "Footprint Expert users only".   
   
  Am I still able to have access to these files?   I am just learning how to use PADS and I am sure I would find something useful in the videos.

   You should purchase Footprint Expert for PADS and automate your PCB Library.
