Ummm, is there any reason you aren't using a free, open-source CAD
package for your class? Both gEDA and Kicad are great for an
academic setting, and your students can get fully-featured versions of
these programs without shelling out scarce money for the software.
And if OrCAD is too buggy for the teacher, how will the students learn
from it?
I often wonder why we teach students using programs they can't afford
in school, aren't any better than the FOSS versions, and they may not
use in real life anyway....
