Welcome to the PADS Evaluation Package. This
Evaluation Package is unique, because it is
the first PCB and schematic CAD program to be
provided as Shareware. This means that the
Evaluation Package is not simply a demo disk,
but a complete, working copy of PADS-Logic and PADS-
PCB. It contains all of the capabilities of
the commercial program, and can produce a
complete set of netlists and drawings. It is
only limited in the size of the circuit you
can create.
With the PADS-Logic shareware package, you can
create schematics, make plots, produce net
lists, define library parts... all of the
functions of PADS-Logic. With the PADS-PCB
shareware package, you can automatically place
your design, autoroute it, create photoplot
outputs and N/C drill files... all of the
functions of PADS-PCB. All drawings, library
parts, and layouts you create can be read
directly by the commercial versions of PADS-
Logic and PADS-PCB, so every minute spent with
this shareware is real work!
The PADS-PCB and PADS-Logic Evaluation
software are each supplied on a single disk.
Additionally, there is a library disk shared
by the programs.
In the root directory of all 3 disks, you will
find the file INSTALL.DOC. This file may be
displayed or printed, and explains how to
install PADS-PCB and PADS-Logic on your hard
disk.
The user manual for PADS-PCB is on the PADS-
PCB disk under the name MANUAL.PCB. The user
manual for PADS-Logic is on the PADS-Logic
disk, under the name MANUAL.LOG. When you
install the programs from the floppy disks,
the user manuals are also loaded into the hard
disk in the \PADSDEMO directory. If you do not
have a published copy of the manual, you may
create one by printing these files with the
DOS Print command or a word processor.
