We are in the beginning stages of trying to decide what PCB design
software to migrate to. We are finding that our current systems which
are PADS Logic, Power PCB, Cadkey & Gerbtool just isn't going to get the
job done in the near future. The three systems that we have knowledge
with & that we believe will do the job that we envision being required
are Cadence, Zuken-Redac's Visula & Intergraph. We want a platform that
will run on Window's NT with Pentium based hardware. We currently have
90Mhz Pentiums with 32 to 64 Meg of ram on each.
I have experience with trying to get Cadence into a facility but would
like to hear from others in the feild. What I'm looking for is good
and/or bad experiences with each platform.
Information from the representatives from these three vendors would be
greatly apreciated. What we are looking for from a package is
exceptional mechanical drawing capablilities (for doing the Fabrication
drawing & Panelization drawing) with good GD&T utilization as well as
ability to handle robust PCB design rules, checking, layout, Digital &
analog design simulation. We also want to have Gerber 274X file
manipulation as a standard feature to veiw and panelize A/W. We require
real time back anotation. Also outputs for driving our automatic Pick &
Place equipment.
I don't think I'm looking for a dream system here and I know that
whatever we end up with will be a hybrid of what we at this point
envision so any input will be greatly apreciated.
Thanks in advance;
