Electronics Forum / CAD / May 2007Cadstar to Orcad conversion?
Does any one know how to convert Cadstar PC board and schematics to Orcard? - Kavita >Does any one know how to convert Cadstar PC board and schematics to >Orcard? > >- Kavita Just surf for "Quality-to-Crap" ;-) ...Jim Thompson | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | America: Land of the Free, Because of the Brave >>Does any one know how to convert Cadstar PC board and schematics to >>Orcard? >> >>- Kavita > > Just surf for "Quality-to-Crap" ;-) I've heard your complaints about OrCad before. And I have some reservations as well. Crashed too often for my taste, too expensive IMHO. I like Cadsoft Eagle a whole lot better except for some minor shortcomings. But why is almost everybody still using OrCad? Out here in the West it seems to be the de-facto standard.

But why is almost everybody still using OrCad? Out here in >the West it seems to be the de-facto standard. Once upon a time there was DOS and there was OrCAD that ran under DOS, and God saw that it was good ;-) Then as Windows came to being, the nutcases at OrCAD decided they could make their own Windows... running under DOS. It was klutzy and bloated. Then, working as a true Windows application, OrCAD became more klutzy and more bloated... and God said, "THIS is the Devil" ;-) Then OrCAD saw that there was MicroSim PSpice, that had its own front-end called, simply, PSpice Schematics. OrCAD knew it was good, so they bought the company, not to use the skills of the Schematics creators, but to destroy the competition. Then Cadence bought OrCAD in a similar attempt. Now OrCAD Capture is sold only to company executives who have no clue and ignore the input from users. So crap has encompassed the earth :-( But the old MicroSim Schematics will still serve as an outstanding front-end for PSpice. So I continue to use it. I stopped paying for "support" in 2006 when I realized that five years of bug fix requests had been ignored. This year, so far, I have written probably a dozen macros that cure all the bugs plus provide facilities/abilities (*) that OrCAD can only dream of... all their "development" is now in India :-( (*) For example: 1) "Binned" models capability 2) Reduction of {...} expressions to numeric values (physical dimension calculations for layout) 3) LVS netlisting ...Jim Thompson | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | America: Land of the Free, Because of the Brave >Once upon a time there was DOS and there was OrCAD that ran under DOS, >and God saw that it was good ;-) [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > > ...Jim Thompson Layout is nearly dead current release 15.7 comes with Capture plus the Allegro PCB Editor and Spectra autorouter, called OrCAD PCB Editor SignatureBoris Mohar -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com >>Once upon a time there was DOS and there was OrCAD that ran under DOS, >>and God saw that it was good ;-) [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >>Then, working as a true Windows application, OrCAD became more klutzy >>and more bloated... and God said, "THIS is the Devil" ;-) Maybe that's why I crashed it so often. >>Then OrCAD saw that there was MicroSim PSpice, that had its own >>front-end called, simply, PSpice Schematics. >> >>OrCAD knew it was good, so they bought the company, not to use the >>skills of the Schematics creators, but to destroy the competition. Why is it that companies buy others and then torch them? Just saw that happen in the med world. Again. Getting rid of competition may or may not be a laudable motivation here but if they'd do a due diligence and find out that the competitor's product was better then a torching makes no sense. Simply buy'em and use their stuff. Unless intra-company politics play into the game, of course. >>Then Cadence bought OrCAD in a similar attempt. >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >>I stopped paying for "support" in 2006 when I realized that five years >>of bug fix requests had been ignored.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > ...Jim Thompson > -- I dunno Orcad but from the above statement I deduce that: 1. either you work for Cadstar and fear you will not be able to get another job if you lose the current one. 2. or you have no idea what a 'PC board and schematics' means but like to see your own name in print so just respond with anything 3 or you have answered with the right words but accidentaly put them in the wrong order. Cadstar is bloatware target marketed to non-electronic technical management. Surely Orcad cannot be worse. >On 4 May, 17:16, Jim Thompson <To-Email-Use-The-Envelope-I...@My-Web- >Site.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >Cadstar is bloatware target marketed to non-electronic technical >management.
