Everybody - stay in your seats... I'm hi-jacking this thread...
If we loosly group this free (or for fee) software type into general
categories of say,
"will find obvious and stupid mistakes"
"will often find many mistakes"
"will find most mistakes"
"nothing gets past this software"
My questions are about what do you use ? and what pitfalls do you
see with it ?
Also, if you know of a package other than what is listed, can you
give us the link ?
I added a folder in the links area for 'design rule check software'
