One of the very nice things that I miss now that I am using Cadence is
the Mentor on screen strokes.
In most cases it is a matter of selecting the part, line or whatever and
then (if I remember correctly)
MMB and draw M on the screen. It takes a little while to get used to but
it is very fast when
you have it down. There are commands in the stroke file like: copy,
mirror, rotate, delete, etc.
I know Concept does have some strokes but since I am now a librarian and
not doing actual schematic
work I haven't had a reason to learn the strokes in Concept.

Hey Austin,
Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure I'll be going to EXP, but if it
works
more or less the same as Pads, it should be interesting!

For PADS, and I can not speak of Expedition, as I have never used it,
you do
have to choose one or more parts, then select move and then move them.
Select more parts, select move (right mouse button) then move them.
Allegro
is "modal", as in, you set the mode, say, "move", then you are in move
mode
until you get out of it. PADS does not work this way. You select
something
(typically using the selection filter) and right mouse to see what you
can
do with it. It really is quite easy to use.

I find PADS much easier, but not nearly as powerful.

Austin
