Stuart didnt say what he expected/wanted to find but today i spent with one system installing AcadE and another running GEDA
I envision drawing a schematic showing the relational connections, like mains swx to fuses to filters to distribution to safety relays to servo drives nad int he establising the physical things to buy and mount and wrire together i expect the software to get me a BOM and wiring list ( netlist ) then i expect to do a physical layout, breaking apart cabinets and cables between i'd like to have a 3Dish layout and find how much wire is needed and what the cables would look like and how the routing would look i'd like the 3D cables to be flattened into nailboard schemes I'd like it free and really easy to use :) haha, took all day to find how tro do sub-sheets on GEDA (hint: ignore the web tutors, find the damn examples and write the necessary text files fixing where sub sheets are located) AcadE is likely closer to the above wishlist but it costs a load and isnt all the above unless you add Inventor btw if you goto gEDA plan on creating a load of symbols i dont see how to do physical layout, but have guess the phys layout is akin to PCB (meaning plan on creating a load of footprints :) regards TomP On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 12:40 PM, Karl Schmidt <[email protected]> wrote: > kurniadi wrote: >> >> I have use Kicad almost 1 year, and this perfect Schematic & PCB >> layout design, > > I second that recommendation - I've used proprietary packages that lack > features found in kicad. > > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Karl Schmidt EMail [email protected] > Transtronics, Inc.
