Just downloaded it but don't have the time to install and test.  Anyone tried it out?  What's new about it that you like?

    IMHO - It's Cadence attempt to look like Altium. Disappointed

    As mentioned below - new license file for Allegro required (In my case at least), I have only played with Capture so far.
    I don't like the default dark theme - reason for this stated was to save power, yea I'll believe that one...
    I love the ability to pull pages onto another window.

    I have not played with pspice yet - no comment.

    I how it handles the windows admin issues - we don't have admin privileges anymore on our boxes.

    I like that the PCB is located project window, it should help to prevent errors in over writing files.

    Only been playing1 day Slight smile

    Given a choice (I have to rescue Al*ium and P*DS projects and translate back to its former environment.) 

    Why choose Altium?   Opening a schematic and a board in the same window...   Yuck.  Does that make me old school?
