Hello Joe,

Try the Seetrax "RANGER" system for around $5000. I have used their
software for 10 years and have found it far superior to others such
as CADSTAR or PADS. I am also using Mentor Graphics but often find
a quicker result with Ranger.
You can view their website at www.seetrax.com.

Hope this helps.
