Mike,
He's either not using PCAD or has no problems with it.
Besides, PCAD schematic is easy to draw. You can build
the symbols on the schematic itself.
Wires? Oh, that's one of the coolest things. You can
just place the components pin to pin and they are
connected. Net name is automatically
10 mil wide minimum trace width is very wide by today's standards (very old
technology) and widely supported at low production costs. If a similarly
wide tolerance is assumed for via processing, you will probably be talking
about drill diameters of 16 mils and annular ring requirements of 8 mils,
I concur that DRC should assure minimum widths are attained. Further, I
believe DRC should detect angles less than 45 degrees, and also trace ends
incompletely buried in pads, vias pours, etc. However, it is best to learn
to use the tools in such a way that you always end on centers. Employing
I use PDF995 too. Works great.
