On the three mainstream PCB design software, it is not currently the mainstream will not mention.
1, Altium designer hereinafter referred to as AD. It can be said to be an upgraded version of PROTEL.
2, PADS
3, Cadence Allegro
(Protel99 do not mention. That was an antique. Can not draw complex board)
In addition to these three software, there are a lot of software, such as Cadstar, CR5000, PCAD, Mentor EE , Mentor WG, Mentor en, PADS professional software and other a lot, and some of these software features are also very powerful, than the above said three big powerful software has. But market share is not high, I can not say here. The current market share is not high, you learn he is currently of little significance, for a beginner, I guess we learned a hard to find work. With no company.
So we mainly talk about three big software.
AD Software Analysis: AD (including PROTEL99) software market position is simple board, such as single-chip class, simple industrial category, some relatively simple board with this software more. Product design is relatively low end. Most are simple board. Most companies use this software product are relatively simple bias. Layer 4 Layer 2 are generally based. In the Chinese market, more and more mainland cities to use, and relatively less developed cities. Basically you can say that in developed cities, the use of this software, looking for work are not easy to find. But the software used in the mainland cities share is very high. This software Why so high in mainland cities, I think mainly because the software is doing better in school promotion, because each student read electronic or electromechanical related professional have taught this in school, or have asked to learn this. So now still use this software engineer, I can be sure that more than 80% is used in school because, after the community to continue to use. It can be said that the software if there is no market in this part of the Chinese students, this software is estimated to be very rare in the Chinese market. PADS software analysis: PADS, formerly known as POWER PCB, the software interface menu little difficult to get started. I guess it could also have been recognized by the market. Especially consumer electronics market share is very high, can be said that early in the consumer product which is almost a monopoly position, such as from the early VCD, DVD, MP3, MP4, U disk, LCD TV, and now the tablet , tachograph, automotive electronics, navigation systems, digital set-top boxes, Andrews smart TV boxes, mobile phones are absolute market share. Especially in mobile phone PCB design, PADS software accounted for almost a monopoly advantage. In the entire consumer electronics inside, almost PADS have accounted for the bulk. Especially in the first years of market share it is absolutely high. In recent years because allegro slowly up the software. PADS share feeling somewhat downward trend. But now in the coastal city which, PADS or the mainstream market, especially Shenzhen, most companies still use PADS, followed by allegro. PADS is easy to find a job in Shenzhen. allegro Software Analysis: Cadence allegro advantage of this software is powerful, the disadvantage is not good science, difficulty of use. So this software 10 years ago or 7 Eight years ago, the market share is still relatively low, generally only large companies with, in particular, do companies use computer motherboard, because the software is powerful, large-scale drawing board advantage. Such as computer motherboards, large-scale industrial control panels, servers, motherboards, and other large board, his efficiency and the advantages are obvious. So he's market is mainly in computer motherboards, large-scale industrial control panels, servers, motherboards, and so on these large board, and now the number of tablet PCs, mobile phones will also have a small board with the company. And large corporations with. Allegro long-term perspective, the market outlook is relatively large. Learning software Conclusion: If you want a simple drawing board, school AD. Want to draw consumer electronics school PADS. Want to draw a large school board allegro. If after school you basically allegro PADS and other cities along the coast are also at work, not so Haozhaogongzuo mainland cities. If the school AD, mainly working in the Mainland coastal cities with very little ... Of course, this is the relative proportion of it, very much like to use PADS than Shenzhen, but there are still companies with AD, but said very little of it. Also for example, you want to learn to paint AD do not think of consumer products, such as you learn to draw AD tachograph, there is P with, and want to work to find a painting tachograph with AD software, simply can not be found to, simply do not do tachograph Sketchpad software company with this AD, whoever you are. Do tablet PCs, LCD TVs do, do mobile phones, etc. These products, too, want to learn AD painting of this product, you are very hard to find work or simply can not find this kind of work. Such Maybe someone will argue, I am now using AD painting flat ah, now drawing tablet with AD's true, or cell phone with AD painting's true, but you have to see how much use on the market? But no matter how few people use, or should individual companies and then, with a small company, a novice just learning, it is difficult to find work. Studying AD. Want to draw consumer electronics school PADS. Want to draw a large school board allegro. If after school you basically allegro PADS and other cities along the coast are also at work, not so Haozhaogongzuo mainland cities. If the school AD, mainly working in the Mainland coastal cities with very little ... Of course, this is the relative proportion of it, very much like to use PADS than Shenzhen, but there are still companies with AD, but said very little of it. Also for example, you want to learn to paint AD do not think of consumer products, such as you learn to draw AD tachograph, there is P with, and want to work to find a painting tachograph with AD software, simply can not be found to, simply do not do tachograph Sketchpad software company with this AD, whoever you are. Do tablet PCs, LCD TVs do, do mobile phones, etc. These products, too, want to learn AD painting of this product, you are very hard to find work or simply can not find this kind of work. Such Maybe someone will argue, I am now using AD painting flat ah, now drawing tablet with AD's true, or cell phone with AD painting's true, but you have to see how much use on the market? But no matter how few people use, or should individual companies and then, with a small company, a novice just learning, it is difficult to find work. Studying AD. Want to draw consumer electronics school PADS. Want to draw a large school board allegro. If after school you basically allegro PADS and other cities along the coast are also at work, not so Haozhaogongzuo mainland cities.

Of course, this is the relative proportion of it, very much like to use PADS than Shenzhen, but there are still companies with AD, but said very little of it.

But no matter how few people use, or should individual companies and then, with a small company, a novice just learning, it is difficult to find work.
Wages, with different software, different drawing board, wages have far worse. There are some mainland cities such as drawing board, 3K many have. Some places also have to take more than 2W, this particular will depend on what you draw board to be. Board nearly so, with personal feeling a little ALLEGRO wages slightly higher than the PADS, which is based on my personal point of view around a lot of friends think of income. personal opinion.
Learning mainly for work, so learning should learn the right things, such as AD and should also learn some simple board to study painting and industrial relatively simple board on the same subject, the more complex the board, less company with AD. Learn PADS, you want to study painting in computer motherboards, or large industrial motherboards, also have no P use, learning can not find work. No company with basic computer motherboard PADS painting. You want to draw support school allegro LCD TV or driving recorder, that's nothing P use, trying to find a painting with allegro LCD TV, work tachograph is not found, the company did not use ... we are with the Czech Republic DXP, gerber, 99SE and PADs format, PCB, please visit www.jiepei.com/g599 understand.
