Orcad/Allegro - What to use?

archive
archive over 17 years ago

I'm fairly new in PCB Design, and have been doing a lot of research on trying to find what software to use.  I've been trying out Orcad 16 Suite, but so far the only software I have experience with is Orcad Capture.  Cadence seems to have a lot of software packages and i'm getting pretty confused with so many options.  My project does not involve immense complexity, but i do need a professional tool.

What are the differences between Orcad Capture CIS and Allegro Entry Level Design CIS?

What are the differences between Orcad PCB Editor and Allegro PCB Editor?

I read in the Orcad Forums that Orcad Layout is soon to expire, but i was a bit disappointed because it seemed like the documentation and tutorials for Orcad Layout are so much better than for Orcad PCB Editor.

If someone has suggestions on what they think is the best route to go at this date as far as Schematic/PCB package, please I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Omer Peleg

    Only time will tell...

    Altium might just be suitable for your current application.

    Good luck, and may your journey's be plentiful.
