Once upon a time c. 2002, I used OrCAD (since folded into Allegro?) for industrial analog and mixed signal boards. It was relatively easy and usable compared to the alternatives. I'm wondering if Allegro is usable today or has a steep learning curve for prosumer individual EEs.
- vrinsd 3y agoCadence bought OrCAD and kept the schematic editor but the layout is Allegro, not the layout tool that historically was part of OrCAD. Allegro IMO does have a pretty steep learning curve, I think it's UI is quite archaic, it really hasn't see any serious improvements in over 20-years. I'd suggest Kicad if you wanted to do anything personal.
