has anybody used both Cadence and Electric (the free layut tool).
I wanted to know if there was any similarity in terms of functionality between both. I do not have access to cadence, if I practice on Electric (basic inverter cct and such) will that be good experience.
Any pointers will be great

Thanks,
Beowulf
 

Electric VLSI is good tool and you can carry forward with that but OrCAD is something you will have to switch on finally sometime!

PS:You might be wondering why I answered this after 7 years is because there will be students with same doubt this will be helpful to them
