"Counterintuitive, hard to learn, needs a better library"
Version: AutoTrax EDA 9.70
Pros
Haven't been able to spend enough time to create enough of a library to use it properly yet, Schematic drawing isn't too bad almost as good as using pencil and paper. Everything is basically there.
Cons
Creating parts in the library a right chore. Everything is counter intuitive, it is hard going . Not enough templates for creating components in schematic or IRL for PCB. Demo period not really long enough to properly evaluate properly.
Summary
I'm only persisting with it because its $6k cheaper than Altium, and it would appear to do what I want, maybe. It needs a better suite of components for its library. It needs better organised tutorials that are available to print via PDF, not some crap on "porntube". I didn't expect Altuim performance from a $200 package, but I did expect a little better than DesignWrite Lite 4. Now I'm just trying to draw up a board with 5 IC's and a fistfull of sundry resistors and caps Its taken me a week to to create the parts in the library alone draw the schematic and they're not 200 pin BGA's! If you have a lot of free time this might be worthwhile but if you have time constraints then try something else or stump up for Altium.
