For comparative purposes, please consider that two half time librarians would equal one full time librarian and four people drawing schematics 25% of the time would equal one full time schematic drafter, etc. ================================================================ PCB Footprints: What is your ratio of librarians to PCB Designers? What do you think it should be? ================================================================ Schematic Symbols: What is your ratio of librarians to drafters? What do you think it should be? ================================================================ Do you outsource Allegro footprint creation? If so, to which vendor? ================================================================ Do you outsource OrCAD schematic symbol creation? If so, to which vendor? ================================================================ Do you outsource Mentor schematic symbol creation?
