I currently use ORCAD for windows v7.2.

Coming from the DOS version (386+) there are quite a few similarities and as
many differences.

Generally though I like the windows interface (cut N paste) etc as it is
quite intuitive although this should be the same for any windows CAD package
really.

It took me a week to transfer an old DOS design into this package and get
rid of the translation errors etc - but that is due to the learning curve I
guess.

There are quite a few bugs in the package and I think that ORCAD are trying
to catch up with the rest of the Windowed packages but I still like it.

Best advice is to get the demo CD for both packages and have a play..
