    I'd love to see some videos on what's coming down the pipe with Presto.  I heard there's a big update in Oct for Orcad tools.  I'm hoping they will address a few Presto bugs and add the missing features that are in the legacy Orcad X tool into Presto.  Presto has a ton of really awesome features and I'm hoping this will only get better soon Slight smile

    Also, some more advanced Presto videos would be appreciated.  I've watched all the ones I can find on Youtube, etc.  

    Maybe a top post that would contain "known bugs and how to get around them", links to training, links to handy add on tools, helper tools, etc.  

    Oh and going forward... why is the documentation a separate HUGE file that needs to be installed.  You guys should follow Altiums lead and throw all the documentation online and link it to the forum here.  Then the documentation would always be up to date and managed correctly and easy to find for new users.

    As a new Orcad user, I find that things are very very difficult to find.  It gets confusing looking between EMA and Cadence and everything I find online seems to point towards the Allegro side of things.

    I'm hoping more people jump onto the Presto train and release more vids, etc so that the tool keeps growing.

    I use OrCAD X and PCB Editor, and one of the biggest challenges I face is keeping up with all the changes across the different platforms. There’s been a lot of progress, but it can be hard to follow what’s current and relevant — especially since most training videos and demos online are focused on Allegro, while I use PCB Editor for OrCAD. This sometimes makes support and troubleshooting more difficult than it should be.

    I’d really like to see better centralized documentation that’s available online. Installing it locally is often inconvenient, and I'd prefer to have access to searchable, cloud-based resources — ideally with dark mode support. Having consistent, easy-to-navigate documentation would go a long way.

    It would also be great if Cadence could introduce a GPT-style assistant, trained specifically on Cadence tools and workflows, to help users find quick, accurate answers across the ecosystem.

    Thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback.
