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?

    so then? How y'all loving "Allegro System Capture" now? :D

    I just ended my latest attempt to give it a go and closed the tool after about an hour of fighting it.

    It's obvious Cadence has given up on updating OrCAD Capture and thinks that this is the future...not going to happen here. Good luck with it everybody.

    Why do you say Orcad has given up on Orcad Capture CIS?  Cadence rewrote it as a 64bit app for 17.4.  

    Orcad still has growth possibilities that we discussed in another thread.   

    If we used PSPICE for RF, I might be gushing even more.  (for us, its HFSS/AWR for everything.)

    Cadence is constantly pushing out new auto-design features in Capture and everyone else is still struggling to catch up.
