Charlene,
If you are looking for basic and very very easy to learn and use, I would throw Protel
on to the list to at least look at. I found Orcad layout not very intuative, schematic wise
many use it but layout wise I would take Protel over Orcad. Also Protel schematic capture
is actually not bad. Also if price is an issue Protel has gone up recently but still I think less
expensive. I have not actually used either but in looking at them as possibilities for myself
about a year ago Protel did it for me. There are some things Protel could do better but show
me a CAD system where that is not true.

  Hi!  I know someone who is looking for a basic PCB design tool.  The two tools they are looking at are OrCad and Power PCB.  I don't know anything about OrCad so does anyone out there have experince on both that would like to share the pros and cons of both systems.
