I am trying to evaluate some of the lower-end PCB design packages to
select
one for use in my workplace. So far, Altium is looking pretty good.
we are doing much simpler schematic/simulation/PCB design. Would it
still be
good for this, or expensive overkill? My only other experience with
lower-end
packages is with PADS (which I find a bit clunky) and OrCAD (I can't
stand
using it for PCB layout, takes forever, schematic is OK). I still need
to look
at P-CAD. After years of using Mentor and Cadence before that, it's
hard to
step down to less powerful packages, so I'd appreciate any advice I
could
get about the Altium software. Thanks.
