URRRG...Altium has taken the final steps of as assimilation into pricing software like Cadence and the competition. I can't get a straight answer from Altium how much this snake oil software will cost me without all the bells and whistles. All I need is PCB and Schematic. The upgrade costs from my current SP4 is about 3K and will climb from there. Speaking to several of you on this forum...it seams like we all pay different prices for upgrades. I am using AD6 along with SP4. Since I am in the middle of a tight schedule with a complicated design, I had to scrap any plans of using AD6. The program has crashed, needed re-installation, and did not import DXF files without a lot of experimentation. It would crash 100 percent of the time when I used a third party netlist. I have little confidence in this product. My policy with Altium ( was Protel) is never, never pay for the first major release upgrade. They have been consistent with bad releases with Versions 3.x, 99, DXP, and now AD6. Wait until at least two - three service packs before upgrading. Mike Reagan
