There are many Cad software out there, And I have seen quite a few of them.
From what I've seen
Mentor has many features the other Cad packages lack. Also when  I recently
changed jobs (5 months ago) I had about 20 phone interviews with RF
engineers. I would say that 90% of them were looking for someone with RF
Mentor experience. I have experience with Rf but not with Mentor. I have
seen the product demonstrated to me and I played with it for a couple of
hours, I liked what I saw, specially when I used Pcad for Rf-layout. Maybe
you can tell me better since you have hands on experience with Mentor.
