How do I go from Orcad schematics "Capture 9.2.3" to Blazerouter and/or expedition PCB :?:
I think Orcad schematic "Capture 9.2.3" is the best tool for the job. But to do PCB with Layout Plus is not to nice. If anyone now a good pcb program please tell me. I want to connect the schematic to component layout. If it's graphical GUI whith preview and edit
mr. jochez u r right.
capture is best for schematic but for layout expedition is better.but at the same time spectra is the good tool for the routing. u can use pads2003 for the placement and routing in the spectra.or blaze router. but u should know how to update the sch to pads2003.if u got any problem in updating pm me i will help u.

orcad to blazerouter.........
make a netlist of the schematics and open that netlist in notepad..
then paste the format required for powerpcb...(u can get this from file/import/ window)
after pasting this..save and import this netlist in powerpcb...
and then u can start ur placement..powerPCB is best for placement..
if ur design is of more then 10 laye4r then use spectra....
its more flexible other wise blazerouter will do...
Cadence Allegro has a perfect interface with OrCAd Capture an is a good tool. But many people also prefer PADs to do the layout after designing in OrCAd capture.
Me taenia that same problem but I realized that the PADS is until but easy to use that the ORCAD.
The same PowerLogic is an excellent one it "Captures" he/she has all the necessary one.
If you want something but sophisticated as it captures cis then you notice the pads designer.
maybe you don't work anytime with other system.
Orcad PCB is totally bad tool!!!
Many, many bugs still in after SP1 of v.10 (15.1).
Philosophy of this tool is completely different than Capture.
STILL 1 UNDO!!!!!!!! in Layout!!!!!
Please look at Pads2003/2004 or Protel99.
Much flexible, easier.
