OrCAD is the simpliest schematic capture product in the CAE industry i know since i have tried them all since 1990. However, since AWR was acquired by Cadence, i have have since changed my mind since RF, EMC, PI, and SI are now fully covered, i will probably stay with Cadence/OrCad. I come from the Cadence realm and was going to switch to Altium since Altium is the only 'real-time' interactive CAD software with SolidWorks. What are your thoughts on this or other pcb or circuit simulation and pcb software ? This is most certainly not the case with Altium. Desperately !!!įor software with such an extreme price tag I would expect the software to be refined and really easy to work with and more importantly efficient to work with. This software desperately needs a system design engineer to go though it to make the software intuitive and easy to use. May as well be zero circuit simulation functionality. No fully integrated component wizard to make symbols, footprint and 3D model and place it in a user component library.Įverything must be done tediously and manually that is assuming you can find where Altium hides it, including making integrated library’s. No basic electronic component symbols menu. What software of this price tag wont let you copy and paste between schematic and schematic library sheet ? Ridiculously complicated or non-existent copy and paste functionality. The issues with this software are extensive: Then it will roll down the roof and bounce off the shed roof then fly through the window and land on the table. They think you should place it on the roof. Most people would think the best course of action it to pick it up and place it on the table. Such as seperate products for component databases.Īn analogy of most of the issues would be “You want to place an apple on the table. It is like the software was intentionally designed to be unusable unless that person pays for expensive training lessons or courses or endless weeks and years of studying just to get to grips with it.Īlso this company seems to make it quite apparent they want to milk you for every penny at every available opportunity. I have found it to be one of the most user-UNFRIENDLY pieces of software I have ever come across.ĭon’t get me wrong Altium is a very powerful tool when you really know what you are doing.įunctionality and commands which should be really easy and straightįorward and are with most software packages are seemingly intentionally made convolutedĪnd ridiculously complicated with Altium. I have been designing circuits with Altium on a professional level among many other software packages for some time.
