I know that this is a Cadnetix thread, but it does bring to mind a
question that I have had for some time. Is there a PADS PowerPCB users
group forum out there? Having designed on PADSPowerPCB since V1.5 with
the Specctra autorouter, I have found the software to be very user
friendly and accomodating, but I know that there probably is some
potential that I have not tapped. In consideration of those on this
forum that do not use PADS, please reserve any further PADS software
commentaries for an off-line dialog, and hopefully to be held on the
forum that I seek.
