Before you get to far...I would suggest you check out Veribest. Especially if your designs are in the high end of the technology. Their autorouter is the best I have seen (Benchmarked quite a few, including Cadence Allegro. Money was also the lower priority to the technology for us). It has a great set of signal property tools for adding orders, delay formulas, differential pair, and length criteria to the routing. See their web page below: ffff,0000,ffffhttp://www.veribest.com/ good luck, Peggy cut--------- >>>> Can someone help?

I need to do schematic capture, pcb layout, netlist conversions, backwards and forwards compatability, DXF and IDF and DRW compatability. I have been using PADS, and lately ORcad.
