I like it Orcad Capture quite a bit. I like how the schematic is organized and how the every single damn thing on the schematic has it's own set of properties. Which also means you can arbiitrarily assign footprints to every component on the schematic just by typing in a line of text (you can also modify the component symbol so that it has a default footprint it automatically goes to). Each footprint isn't inherently tied to a component and is floating on it;s own and you can assign a symbol to whatever footprint you want.
The same thing goes with Orcad Layout. Every single thing has it's own properly and (at least to me) it all makes sense with the layers and everything. It was the most intuitive for me.
It was the one I chose after trying out 5 or 6 different programs so obviouslt I like itl I definately like it more than Protel, Eagle or a couple other programs whose names I forget now,.
I realie my spelling is a bit off. But im a bit drunk right now. Even crazy drunken Jpop concerst videos cnt pull me away from this fprum.
I paid $50 to rip off the Orcad I have right now (because the free version had a few bugs in it that werne't functionally annoying but where time-annoying like screen refresh issues and the occasional program crash).
