Personally I have tried using Eagle for my PCB layout and indeed it is a truely simply CAD tools for PCB design. That's why you have been using for years I pressume. Well, with regards the acqusition of CADsoft by Farnell, thumbs up for me... Reason being is that from Premier Farnell press release, you can see that they are moving areas in helping Electronics Design Engineers by various ways. Recently they have just launched the Element 14 website which is an online community website for electronics designers like myself (Hoobyist). Further more, Premier Farnell has also tied up with Altium and EMA in creating the Design Link which enable designer to link the parts that they used to the stocks which Farnell has globally with Live stock level and Price...cool right ? Thus, the merger I feel personally will benefit the electronics designers out there since one of the strategies of Premier Farnell is to focus on the fastest customer market segment which is the EDE (Electronics Design Engineers) global market. All in all, I believe Premier Farnell will enhance the capability of CADsoft. By the way, you are in which area of design ? (Eg: Power electronics and etc ?) Cheers. Hi Tony,
