![]() The most interesting differences show themselves once traces are all on the board and need to be rejiggered. Both have 3D rendering, with Altium’s looking a bit more pleasant but what real use is it anyway? Okay, we will admit we love a good photorealistic board rendering, but we digress. Cadence (whose PCB layout tool is called Allegro) will display the net if you hover over the pad with your mouse. Here you can see that Altium always labels the pads so you know what net each of them belongs to. begins his overview by mentioning that the schematic editors are comparable the differences start to show themselves in the PCB layout tools. Neither are free packages so it’s good to know what you’re getting into before taking the plunge. Recently, has been working with Altium and Cadence and wrote about how they compare when it comes to PCB layout. There are a few that use Kicad, but we hear very little about other alternatives. We see a lot of projects using Eagle for the schematics and PCB layout.
