Mike,

I use Corel for graphic design - manuals, datasheets, promotional
literature.  I am fairly experienced, but I find it difficult to be
accurate and productive in Corel, although I can be "creative" and
"artistic".

I won't say it can't be done, but it wouldn't be my first choice, unless
the only other choice was red and blue tape.

Lyle

Subject: [EE]: PCB design with Corel.

   Could anybody estimate the stupidity level of
the idea of designing PCB with Corel?

   I have access to a computer with legal Corel 11,
I messed with it a bit and what I've found:
 Corel
 - has layers;
 - can draw various elements, that could be grouped;
 - elements could be snapped to grid;
 - has VBA, you can store anything in a normal
   database (even SQL server), manipulate it as you
   need and then draw with Corel;

If the idea with Corel happened to be workable, Corel
could be changed to plain VB application with DirectX.

Thanks in advance.
Mike.
