FOr our design project the prof wants us to use Eagle rather than OrCAD which I have. Let's forget that it would take me 15 minutes to do in OrCAD what the prof wants me to do and I have to go learn a new user interface which has proven to be the one of the most unwieldly things ever from the seeming lack of a component manager to keep track of all the components in the PCB, to the seemingly lack of hotkeys and indications of whether or not traces are actually properly connected in the schematic to the disjointed method in which component symbols and footprints have to be made to how you have to do a bunch of component copying between library and component to use prexisting footprints.
Now, the layout is generating a rat nest from the schematic WITH ERRORS. THere are extra ICs that have been deleted longer before and shouldn't be there and there are unconnected pins between components when they are clearly connected to each other on the schematic (and double connected on the schematic). Oh yeah, let's not forget how layout doesn't tell you what component you have selected on the schematic. How am I supposed to trust this software?
