Hello Austin, I'm a PAD's user considering changing to Allegro. Being familiar with your name from the PAD's mailing list I hoped you could spare me a moment for a quick pro's/con's summary and maybe an opinion (push in the right direction). I'm not a long time user of PAD's (2 years) and have auto-routing on 8 layers. I'm looking at moving up to include the high speed options or switching to Allegro (I'm sure you appreciate why I'm considering moving away from PAD's). Probably best to respond off list. Any comment or advice you care to make is appreciated. Best regards, Peter Lambert peter@xxxxxxxxx
