Well, IMHO, after using a few, P-CAD, ACCEL EDA, Orcad, PADS since 1985, sch entry to pcb board is the correct ideal. I suggest from the 4 I've used, PADS won't do what you need. P-CAD is dos-based. ACCEL EDA and Orcad are Win95 based and have very good tools to track the sch to the pcb database.

I have tried some software but they are mostly DOS-based. I want a software that is complete and at the same time affordable. Thanks. Hope to have your response A.S.A.P. HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!
