Providing a schematic from a cheap capture package
does not help the layout Person. It only invites more
chances of errors.

Thanks.
Normally when I've done h/w design I've had the layout guy onsite with
my drawings in his hands and me standing over him telling him what
bits are critical and what bits aren't, and checking while he goes
along. I'll just draw the schematics using a 2D CAD package and then
he can copy it manually into whatever he uses (Mentor IIRC).

BTW, would providing a netlist be useful?

Yes it may be usefull if it's created in a format
your layout guy can use. Talk to him to get the details.
Problem is, when trying to make changes it's a lot harder
than changing the source shematic (if any)
