Doug,
I have experience with PCAD and Protel. I love Protel. It did
everything PCAD does with far less the hassle. I am currently working
with PCAD 8.5 (DOS-based), but I do understand there is a windows
version of PCAD out. I could probably list 10 very good reasons
Protel is the better software. I'm running into all kinds of querks
that PCAD has that I find very dangerous, because they could cause
errors.
All the board houses need from you are Gerber files, drill files,
and a FAB drawing to specify details. Sometimes they like to have the
netlist also.

We are not a board fab or assy house. I am looking for board
layout software. We currently use AutoCad for board layout.
I want to move away from this since it's not software made
for layout work.
I've been looking at P-Cad, GerbTool and ProTel.
1. Is it safe to assume everyone basically talks in
gerber file language?
2. Anyone care to comment on software for layout?
I am looking specifically for people with experience
on the software they talk about.
NOT spams.
TIA
Doug
