Per Printed Circuit Design & Fab MagazineUsed weekly•Altium Designer: (30.9%)•Cadence Allegro: (29.9%)•Mentor XPedition: (23.9%)•Mentor Pads: (20.3%)•Cadence OrCAD: (15.3%)•Mentor Board Station: (5.6%)•Zuken CR-5000: (5%)•Zuken CR-8000: (2.3%)•Eagle: (1.7%)•Zuken CADStar: (1%)•Other: (12%) use Orcad for schematics and Pads for pcbs. I use Orcad for schematics and Pads for pcbs.How to convert the netlist of orCAD to PADS ??Or how to use both simultaneously Logged If you do by company:- Mentor 49.8%- Cadence 45.2%- Altium 30.9%- Zuken 8.3%Can anyone comment on the difference between XPedition/Pads/board station or the various Zukens? Is it similar to altium vs circuit maker? Logged Profile -> Modify profile -> Look and Layout -> Don't show users' signatures I use Orcad for schematics and Pads for pcbs.How to convert the netlist of orCAD to PADS ??Or how to use both simultaneously I don't think you need to convert anything, simply select "other" when creating the netlist and there's a bunch of formatters to pick from. How well it works, I don't know. Logged Hoarder of 8-bit Commodore relics and 1960s Tektronix 500-series stuff. Unconventional interior decorator. Per Printed Circuit Design & Fab MagazineOnly professional engineers would likely read this magazine & only if they have time. So one would expect that the survey results would only include expensive top line pcb design software.I've never read the magazine, nor am I ever likely to. I design boards (often) on a day in day out basis. I have Altium Designer, but generally I dislike it along with disliking Altium the Corporation.For 90%+ of my boards designs I use DipTrace. It is a very cable tool that has logical menus etc etc. I just like it, so I use it.As a contract design engineer I'm often asked "which is the best circuit board design software?" My usual answer is "any package that does what you require & that you enjoy using".I can export my designs into may formats include Altium, so for me it makes little difference

As part of its ongoing investment in higher education, Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced that students and instructors can download a free student edition of its premium PADS™ Professional Design Suite (version 2.7) desktop software for electronics design and analysis. A free, 12-month license for Mentor’s solution supporting the design, validation, and manufacture of PCB-centric systems is available now at global electronics industry needs a robust stream of qualified engineering talent to meet the innovation challenges of the world’s most dynamic and fast-changing markets,” said AJ Incorvaia, senior vice president of the Electronic Board Systems division at Mentor, a Siemens business. “We are pleased to provide this premium platform at no cost for students looking for hands-on experience using professional, cutting-edge tools that are in demand by employers.”PADS Professional delivers the industry’s only fully-integrated design and analysis solution that combines capture, layout, signal integrity analysis, and 3D into one tool. The platform is powered by Xpedition™ software technology – the same design tool used by many of the world’s most successful technology organizations.“I have experience using several PCB design tools, but my proficiency in using Mentor’s PADS Professional platform has proven to be of interest to prospective employers,” said Joshua Biggio, May-2019 BSEE graduate of University of Colorado. “My ability to jump right into new projects played a key role in helping me to secure a position at a Tier One global semiconductor company."PADS Professional Student Edition includes several “Getting Started” resources that help students traverse the learning curve quickly, including learning tutorials, how-to videos, and self-paced training.For more information, please access Mentor’s Student Edition landing page at for Press
