You still have hair?
Although I am not there yet (15.2) I have always upgraded when the
chance comes.
I have only regretted it once (was it 12.something?). Inevitably you
will need to upgrade
sometime in the future. Personally I like to get it over with as soon as
possible so
I can ask the forum lots of questions! No, really. I think it is best to
get the new features
and find the new bugs.

Daniel,
I recommend 15.2, although I am pulling my hair out since Friday last
week about some "minor" little things in CM.
Pro's:
1) it is stable
2) dynamic shapes are a great feature
4) Custom Drill interface rocks!
3) there is other stuff (some of it hidden) that makes your live
much easier (read the What's New Document)
(I encourage Designers in my group to respond to this as well by
the way)
Con's:
Skill function axlDiffPair creates diffpairs, but they don't
stick (tested with latest ISR dated 10/05/2004, SR open)
Diffpair autosetup in Cm and Allegro only works if your nets end
in characters you can filter for (diff. busses are a nightmare
to setup if you don't know scripting, perl or skill).
and there are some minor other little things here and there that
make you want to put your fist through your monitor.
In other words, nobody is perfect. 15.2 is better than 14.2 in many ways
as far a s I am concered.

[PCB_FORUM] 15.2 or 14.2
Hello all,
I am a new Cadence user and I'm trying to decide if I should load 14.2
or 15.2. The background here is that we have inherited some Cadence PCB
designs which were done in version 14.2. We will be doing some updates
to the designs as needed. I have received some training, all on 14.2. I
have both versions of the software and am trying to decide if I should
stick with what I know (14.2) or install the latest version (15.2).
I've used enough CAD tools in my 23 years to know that most major
software upgrades tend to have some gotcha's in them. The other
consideration in this case is that I am new to the tool and my limited
experience is on 14.2. Any advice from you experienced users would be
greatly appreciated.
Thx,
Dan Ratcliff
