Cadence (OrCAD) Capture vs System Capture

Kenneth Wood
Kenneth Wood over 4 years ago

Has anyone moved from Cadence (OrCAD) Capture to System Capture for all new designs?

After repeated CCRs and complaints about V17.4 Capture it was suggested to me to use System Capture instead...so I looked into the program and so far not impressed.

Thoughts?

    Hmmm...I was told the same thing and realized whoever came up with that idea has no concept of what the tools do.  I've been on Allegro since the early 90's and see no useful purpose for system capture.

    Can I ask what was the reason you were told this? Were you having issues with capture that that was their reply? To me, V17.4 Capture is a complete disaster...Sure there a re a few features I like but overall it's almost unusable.
