I heard they were killing off the old OrCAD Layout and confusing people by having given the appellation “OrCAD” to light versions of the Allegro layout package. I have a light version of Allegro that was sold to me a few years ago as “OrCAD PCB Designer”. The name sounds like OrCAD Layout, but it has nothing to do with that product.

I don’t think they’re killing off OrCAD Schematic Capture in name or product.

Subject: [DC] OrCAD?

I was just telling a colleague that OrCAD wasn't being

maintained anymore, because Cadence was killing it off.

Now I don't remember where I heard that from, but the

new issue of PCD&F is announcing new releases 16.2

with new featues and "unparalleled depth and robust

functionality".

Does OrCAD thrive?

curious Jack
