I feared that the paper is no good for fine lines (paper fibers and such).
the verbal schematic thing sound to me very like netlists.
look at how vhdl / verilog is handles by companies like xilinx.
they have software converting the descriptive language to a schematic and
vice
versa. this would definitely be good for showing any engineer a verbal
schematic.
(converted to a autogenerated schematic).
the other way around would be much harder to make a software for...
what do you plan to use orcad for? mostly schematics or pspice and vhdl
and such too?
