[THIS IS FROM PEGGY MEADOWS @ INTEL]

We're also using the Mentor Expedition tools for board design.  For the fab,
assembly, and multi-pack drawings we are using a variety of tools like
IntelliCAD (Microsoft, inexpensive general use CAD package), AutoCAD,
AutoSketch, and Microstation.  Each designer has a preference, and as long
as they can output dxf and create pdf files to send to vendors it doesn't
really matter how they got there.  One designer is using Expedition to do
the drawings also.
I prefer that Mentor concentrate on advancing the routing and high speed
design capabilities of the tool and leave drafting stuff to the highly
capable tools that already exist.

I am soliciting general feedback on the pros and cons of using board design
software to generate Fab and Assy drawing packages. (Level 3, including
notes and formats)
Does your board software support adequate drafting tools to generate these
drawings, or do you export the design to a drafting software?
I would be particularly interested in feedback from anyone using Theda board
software.
Thank you in advance.
