I am considering using gschem for schematic capture and pcb as the associated board layout tool. I am seeking comments about its capability in general, but also have some specific questions:
- how extensive is the component symbol libraries?
- how easy is it to make symbols? and add associated attributes such as package descriptions, and spice behavior models?
- How good is the spice simulation/model support?
- What (preferably free) alternative would you recommend? or commercial alternative?
- What digital simulation package is available for this environment and how good is it?
Thanks for your input.
