Having you mentioned PADS, I would like to know how do you like it.
I once tried to use it and found it awful. To me, Its UI lacks a lot of
important menu options and dialog boxes.
For instance, the only way I found to show/hide layers was in the dialog
box to choose layer colors, very unfriendly and inefficient.
P-CAD has two-key shortcuts to enable/disable up to 10 (customizable)
groups of layers.


Best regards,

Isaac
