Cadence Allegro fully and easily supports assembly and fabrication drawings, including dimensioning, formats, and notes. That said, all our documentation drawings are done in ProEngineer since there is a full 3d model of each product there anyway. -- George Patrick Tektronix, Inc. Central Engineering, M/S 39-512 P.O.

(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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- DesignerCouncil Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF DesignerCouncil.
