Hi all, Which PCB program does Professional use? PCAD is better than ORCAD and PADS or which one is better??????? I have got ORCAD experience and I think ORCAD is not comfortable at advance PCB. What do you think about PCB programs?

Pulsonix is excellent - bugs get fixed very quickly and it is easy to use: http://www.pulsonix.com It's somewhat cheaper than Orcad, PADS and Protel. Leon

I have used Eagle for some years now, and one of the things I love in it is its scripting capabilities. Very useful to define rectangular or polar arrays of any structure. There are other things that I don't like so much, though, such as copying/moving objects across libraries. Best.
