I've have the task to write a report about the features and prices for a number of PCB CAD applications, which will lead up to purchasing a CAD suite. I've found pricing and feature information about a number of PCB applications and just two remain on the list.
The CAD apps are:
PADS XE or SE Altium Designer v6
I thought I'd ask the readers of this newsgroup if they have any experience with what they or the companies they work for actually paid for those two PCB CAD apps.
I've read a number of posts in this and some other electronics newsgroups about the pros and cons of a variety of PCB CAD programs.
At the moment, I'm just curious about pricing.
So if you have some idea of actual pricing for those products (or which ever modules of the full package you bought), I'd appreciate it if you could post that information in this newgroup.
I just wanted some idea of the real world prices for those apps before contacting the sales departments of Mentor Graphics and Altium.
