Anyone suggest a CAD with Sch/Pcb ... and maybe Spice?

May 02, 2005 3 Replies

Hi All, I'm looking for a schematic entry w/ PCB , reliable, correct gerber files output. Hopefully with a Spice simulator. I've tried a few from Terry's list. But anyone else? Was there Pulsonics I read? QCad I heard wasn't too good. Something in the $200.00 range ? Hows Vutrax doing these days, I read about them along time ago in Electronics World? I don't like Autotrax. P-Cad at work I can't afford.



thanks Ed


gEDA is free and has all that (if you discover otherwise, we'll fix it ;), so there's little reason not to at least give it a try while you're evaluating the other ones.

Pulsonix is very good, but is rather expensive. Have a look at Easy-PC:

I used it for years before I got Pulsonix. It's produced by the same company, and starts at about $200.

Main problem is I'm using Win2K , not linux anymore. Also work dosen't allow Linux.
