I use OrCAD at the work.
It's very friendly and handy package than PCAD.
OrCAD 10 can be interfaced with Specctra too.
I think OrCAD is better than PCAD.
May be Layout Plus need some improvment on its GUI.
use such tool what you want!
i don't like orcad because of a lot of errors and VERY BAD layout, but you can find many users who tell you different opinion
this is some thing strange. pcad no control over the track .try moving a track it will break in to segments. so if u want to edit a track . sit from morning till evening and allign the track segment by segment. a good time pass.
OrCad is easier to use . I'm just the biginner in this field and as i see OrCad is easy to get acquainted with. Of course each CAD has it own powers and defect . BUt once you've archived one well , you can do nearly everything on it.
I think poth of them is very nice and i think that you need to use orcad if your design is advanced and you need a very advanced autorouter like spectra our you have a lot of high speed constrines then usign orcad will be more useful
