It's amazing how calm you are while explaining some very odd things, like setting paths in config files or giving advice to use File-Save instead of the other Save button. Forced to use Orcad at work now after years in Altium and other programs and its hilariously bad. I just cannot believe that people work in it and don't even ask the question - what the hell is going on with that software.

Robert your videos are very informative, I have used many different packages over the years, Tango, Protel in the early years, I started using Orcad back in 1990's, I began to feel like a BETA tester with all the bugs. I am considering moving on, Allegro is very convoluted. Altium seems to flow much better and have been demoing it and I like what I see. Again your videos are very good and I'm sure many people get good information from them, Thank you

I tried all the tools both free and commercial. Working with allegro and orcad is really painful and frustrating experience. Most of very simple operations are exponentially complicated. Atleast 6 months required for learning and using the tool bit comfortably in real design. if cost is not big constrained better move to altium. It would be much easier to learn and use.

Many Thanks Robert! Good Work. It would be great if you can also cover PCB Editor (instead of Allegro) as I think Capture CIS + PCB Editor cost under 600Euros and so many beginners and smaller companies will be using the same. Allegro PCB editor is like 6K euros i think along with Capture CIS so quite steep.

Robert, but if the OrCad is paid few thousands $$$$ so it's a problem 😁🤪 For hobbyists we don't need that expensive software to use once a month, or a half year But, thank you very much for your as always very interesting tutorial, we always learn a lot from your good videos, thx mate 👍

Sometimes it is possible to buy Orcad at price around $600 USD. Search for "orcad deal". That would be the cheapest version but it is still ok. Of course for hobbyists KiCad is probably the best.

@@hectorgonzalez6361 yes survived and stopped there in 1990s. I use it for 5 years now and it's always pain. Especially crashing capture. It started to be usable after patch s020 but still can crash. Many things are done in not logical way. Symbol editing in capture - crap, why do you need to pins around rectangular shape?? They actually made new symbol editor about 3years ago. But still far from perfection. 80% of improvement suggestion got rejected by support or takes months to fix bugs. I used in past EasyPC - they support was able to make a fix within hours or days. There is still plenty of room to improve performance. Compare that to kicad - you will be surprised how smooth this free tool is (and this is only about pcb part) If you have a look closer the allegro is selection of tools that cadence bought over the years. But all of them are different and they patched to work with each other. It uses visual C++, java, tcltk, Qt, there mozilla firefox and possibly some other things. I could provide more examples but i'm bored in writing...

@RobertFeranec 2 жыл бұрын

I believe it's based on "we can't have everything". I think, Cadence priority is do not disturb the existing environment too much. Altium is changing a lot - on one side that means new features on other side frustration of constantly changing stuff and many random bugs between versions. On the other side, I think Cadence would like to stay as compatible as possible with previous versions (they don't want to impact the engineers already working with their software), but that means, they have to keep some old stuff. Still, it's not relevant - it does not matter if it's altium or cadence or kicad .... it's just a software. Important is, if you can use that software to your advantage e.g. get better salary if you know how to use it and in that case Cadence is a very good choice to learn (the same as Altium).

@rick_er2481 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, for all the insights! At the job where I started they use the Cadence work flow. I also think its about finding a tool that fits you.
