Re: OrCAD fun & games

I never understand these sorts of posts. I've used layout since before
ORCAD bought it (hence the .max extension (MaxEDA) for layout files)
and capture since ver 5.something.

From what I hear on this NG protel users are dealing with work arounds
all the time, and don't like using newer versions than protel 99.

I would entirely agree that paying maintenance for ORCAD is money down
the drain.

There are two things you can't do with layout, microvias (difficult to
stop a microvia being put on top of a buried via) and decent SI
controls such as length matching etc.

I have no spice experience so can't comment

OrCAD under DOS was a good program... under Windows it has gone
steadily downhill... Cadence has about killed it.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
