[sdiy] Design software for JP's modules

[Jean-Pierre Desrochers]

Hi Robin & Paul,

You are right Paul about the schematic software.
It's OrCAD v10.3i but the PCB layout is also made out of OrCAD.
There is an inter-relation between both soft that
keeps the design consistent all along the draftings.
If you open both softwares:
OrCAD Capture for schematic And OrCAD Layout for PC artwork,
You change something in the schematic, it shows where your
changes go on the PCB real time.. Pretty useful !
Same thing the other way. 

To me it's the software I found that does the prettiest
schematic draft (Colours, line widths, the way the IC's show, etc..)
Same for the PCB final artwork. Very happy with this version.

Hi Jean-Pierre,

Can you tell me what schematic and PCB layout program you use for your projects?  I like the clarity of the schematic:

The PCB looks great:
