Cadence (OrCAD) Capture vs System Capture

Kenneth Wood

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?

    I suspect someone in Cadence Marketing did a deep dive why companies choose Altium.  Altium sucks, yet people keep buying it and basing their senior projects on it.   

    In my experience, the decision is made by engineers looking for the easy button for Design Capture.  Arguably.  Orcad can be fragile at this. 

    System Capture has a glaringly simple UI with very few buttons. 

    As the guy answering questions for a dozen engineers who capture schematics during team whiteboard collab meetings and don't want to look like an idiot, this is so sexy.

    Smart board design professionals do not choose P*DS.  System engineers do.   Cadence needs to let P*DS die.
