CAD in the Elektor Lab

It is about three years now since our lab migrated from Ultiboard/Orcad to Altium Designer CAD software for the drawing of engineering-level schematics and the design of those famous Elektor printed circuit boards. It is an enormous improvement to work with a completely integrated CAD package, but there is, of course, the odd situation every now and then when you think nostalgically of the old software, even though this changeover has been a big step forward and Altium has taken a lot of work off our hands.
