What reviewers say
Powerful Interface, Slight Learning Curve
“I used Allegro X PCB Designer at work a few years ago to make a PCB. I was able to create a complex schematic that involved connecting lots of different connectors. I found the interface powerful and it made sense to use.”
Best software for PCB designers
“Allegro is more user friendly. From schematic netlist import to Gerber generation best for designers compared to other tools. 3d mapping is very simple & quick. Setting electrical constraints is easier.”
Best user freindly software for PCB design
“Allegro is very easy to use , not so complicated compared to other pcb software . Tools & user manual is easier to get circuit from schematic to gerber generation. Installation of software is time saving . Support from the cadence team we get for any queries is quick.”
