Being a service bureau we have used many software packages to layout circuit boards. We believe that PADS is the best software tool available and a big reason for that is the library that is available through PCB Libraries, Inc. It is by far the most extensive library available and a definite must for any PCB designer. The reliability and extent of the library makes our job as pcb designers much more efficient.

If you have not started using the new libraries, resources & Tools from PCB-Libraries here is what you’re missing: this is truly the next generation of PCB component library data per the new IPC guidelines. What I can say is that they are accurate, consistent and of high quality. Usage if these products will dramatically reduce errors, shorten the design cycle & raise the quality of your designs.
