Electrical Schematics

[airion]

What software is everyone using for electrical schematics?


At my company we use ProE, but some older drawings are still in KeyCreator (formerly known as CadKey).Both have there advantages and disadvantages, but something else that is "parametric" would be much better. For example, I would like something where symbols and wires are connected and you can drag them around and rearrange them without having to trim lines. I know there are many programs out there like that and I would like your opinions.


Thanks for your input.

I searched the forums and came across this:


PTC's Routed System Designer http://www.ptc.com/appserver/mkt/products/home.jsp?k=346


I'd like to hear feedback from anyone who has used this or any other software for this funciton.


Thanks.

Pro/DIAGRAM is probably the most popular even though its not supported any longer... then RSD is the new kid on the block. RSD is nice too.

Try Capital Logic from Mentor Graphics for high-end work, or VeSys Design from the same company for low-end work. If Cadkey met your design needs, then VeSys will be excellent, cost-to-cost.

Does Mentor have a cable option?Or is it just for PCB layout?
