Anyone suggest a CAD with Sch/Pcb ... and maybe Spice?

[EN]

Hi All, I'm looking for a schematic entry w/ PCB , reliable, correct
gerber files output. Hopefully with a Spice simulator. I've tried a
few from Terry's list. But anyone else? Was there Pulsonics I read?
QCad I heard wasn't too good. Something in the $200.00 range ?
Hows Vutrax doing these days, I read about them along time ago in
Electronics World? I don't like Autotrax. P-Cad at work I can't afford.

thanks Ed

Pulsonix is very good, but is rather expensive. Have a look at Easy-PC:

I used it for years before I got Pulsonix. It's produced by the same
company, and starts at about $200.

gEDA is free and has all that (if you discover otherwise, we'll fix it ,
so there's little reason not to at least give it a try while you're
evaluating the other ones.
