I can make recommendations but I need to know in what capacity?
Proffesional or hobby? How many thousands of USD are you willing to spend?

PCB Cad

I hope you know what you are in for............Industry standerd CAD software is not something you can pick up on the street corner.......

After using many packages, I got a copy of Orcad 9 (you could also use Cadstar) this software covers all aspects needed for industry standerd work.................

Now the bad news, Orcad unison suit costs £4,500......... :shock:

If you are still breathing.............. Now find out about insurance you will need..... plus A0 plotters (around £500) dedicated high speed PC ( approx £1200)

Should I go on? THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE YOU GO AHEAD WITH YOUR PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll:
