Feedback requested on Target3001 CAD Program

[rmigliac@yahoo.com]

Hi to all,

I've been looking at some low end $400 to $1000 Schematic capture and
PCB layout programs. What seems like a new kid on the block is the
TARGET3001 CAD program.

Feedback one their website is all very positive, no surprise. I've
spent a little time playing around with it and it looks pretty solid.

What I'm looking for is feedback from other users of the program. Is
this package as good as it seams, or do I need to take off my rose
colored glasses.

Thanks in Advance,

Thank you Rolf and Rich for the inputs. I started to get fustrated
with Target and have loaded Eagle. Many parts in Targets library and
documentation retain their German origin. One feature that I really
liked in Target was the built in simulation capability. Unfortunately,
the learning curve is substantial and the documentation is somewhat
lacking. Eagle was definately easier to learn.

Here is a link to a "TARGET-crash course english" pdf-file.
