[PCB_FORUM] Re: To Mentor...

Hey Mitch,

After eleven years using Allegro, it will probably be a bit of a challenge.
I'm sure for a while I will be wishing it was Allegro, but I'll have to get
over it and accept it, it will be my job.  Oh well, at least I'll know
another tool!  Talk to you later.

Hi Gary,

You'll like having to switch the "task process" to select different
objects, unlike Allegro where you have the elements selection, or PADS
where you can filter. That among other things... I went to the training,
then used it for 3-4 months. Some things are nice, some, as I mentioned
are not. I found PADS much easier to understand. I'm a long time Allegro
user, so that's my preference, but have used Expedition and PADS lots. I
found ExP tougher to learn because I viewed it as I do Allegro. It's much
"simplier", so I thought too much into it. BTW, I was able to break the
tool consistantly during training too.  :)

Good day.

Mitch
