Re: advice on selecting new PCB design package



Hi,
Our Company has been using ORCAD for years and we are now switching
over to PADS due to a lot of problems with ORCAD.
PADS has a good link to Hyperlinx in case you want to simulate your
PCB's performance. ORCAD claims to have .HYP generation capability but
it does not work correctly.
PADS layout is extremely good, supports interactive and autorouting,
handles impedance pairs easily -even when autorouting!- and easy to
use. Of the many packages I have used so far, PADS is the best!

Telep
