Well, I agree. What I want to say is that whether you use it or not, you can get in touch with it first. You don’t have to learn how to learn the table, but at least you have to know and understand the characteristics

bigbat posted on 2018-11-1 18:46 Five or six years ago, there was a PCB factory whose workers did not know how to use the higher versions of DXP or AD and could only accept protel99 PCB files. I had to convert the file format every time...

Most people think that they should use whatever the company tells them to use, as long as they can get the job done. What the OP means is that you should be more proactive and learn more new things. You don’t have to learn them thoroughly, but at least you should understand the characteristics, so that if you switch, you can quickly get started with the work

My computer configuration: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G325 @3.2GHz 4G memory 64-bit Win7 system runs AD18 OK, relatively smoothly, and there is no lag. I reiterate that tools are good to use as long as you are comfortable with them. The main purpose is to solve the problem. It's not a bad thing to take the initiative to learn some new tools and experience new tools. If you don't understand or know the new tools, it must be because you don't want to learn them

Drawing is still very smooth, but it takes a little time to open the software. Generally, I will download and try the software as long as there is an update. If I don’t think it is very useful, I will consider returning it. However, generally, you can’t return it after upgrading.

AD18 opens very slowly on my machine. It is indeed like this after installation. It is not good.

It seems that the new AD18 has a lot to do with computer configuration. The configuration of the dark one is not as high as the original poster's.

The drawing board is not stuck with this configuration. I am curious about what board you are drawing? I have a board on hand. I drew it on i5-4570+8G using PADS, which is said to be super resource-saving. The copper plating is not very smooth. The double-jointed board is about the size of A4 paper. Parts 491 Nets 242 Connections 956 Route Segments 4325

On the contrary, I removed Win10 from my company's Lenovo i7-7500U + 4G + 1T (HD) laptop and installed an activation-free Windows Thin PC. It only consumes 300M memory when it enters the desktop, and it is super easy to run PADS. The thin PC only has a 32-bit English version, and only recognizes 2.6G of the 4G memory. It doesn't matter. I installed boostr and used super cache for all the unrecognized ones. The experience of QQ, WeChat and Wangwang is not inferior to my own personal laptop with SSD.

PowerAnts

No matter how fast the SSD is, it is not as fast as RAM. What is annoying is that it takes more than ten seconds to read the 1.4G cache file when booting up. But it doesn't matter, just don't shut down the computer.

I am using AD13 now, and I think what the OP said makes sense.

Let me talk about a few software/systems. MATLAB2012 opens much faster than 2017. There is not much difference between the two for small calculations, but the new version is much faster for large calculations, and sometimes the calculation time can be almost an order of magnitude faster. So I installed both versions (cracked versions...). The XP system is much smaller than Win10, but since I upgraded to Win10, I think the new system is very good-looking, and some functions are very convenient, so I can never go back. However, some software cannot be used in Win10, so sometimes I still have to use the old antique XP book. Then there is the IOS system. The new system is becoming more and more user-friendly, but the premise is that the hardware level can keep up. The original system of old mobile phones is very smooth, and there is no problem using the basic functions of the mobile phone. However, if you upgrade to the latest system, it will become more and more stuck, and if you don’t upgrade, some software will not work. . . In general, you can’t generalize. The best one is the one that suits you.

Look at how much the performance of each generation of Intel processors has improved in recent years... Only the latest generation has been significantly improved due to the strong competition from AMD's new products.

If the picture you draw has no special requirements, you don't need to bother with new software. Some time ago, the system had problems and I had to install the latest AD. I was not satisfied and had to use the old version. Besides, it takes time to do it.

"If a hammer is your only tool, then all problems seem to you like nails that need to be hammered in." I have also encountered such antique engineers at work who have a single skill and are able to conquer the world. They insist on using assembly language and refuse to use C language.

Having said that, you ask me, a code writer, to draw the schematic and do the packaging. Isn’t that too much? If a PCB maker doesn’t do the packaging himself, isn’t that just a cleaner?

You should be calm about this. In daily life, many people's views are--- 1) At work, as long as it can be used and the work can be completed, it's fine. 2) In life, just make do. Everyone has their own rules of survival. After reading so many replies, some of them have become calm and just walk their own way. Others like to walk, so they can walk more. We like to ride horses, so we can ride horses more...

Everyone should help each other. Some people like to do everything by themselves, and some people like to find ready-made things. It's reasonable to just exist
