Yes, I think it is improved. It's also Windows 95 based now. It does
have some powerful features since it uses a real CAD engine as it's core
(I forget what the CAD engine is, but it's normally a $500 product or
so). One nice thing about it over many draw and paint programs is that
as a CAD engine, symbols come from a symbol library, and your file only
has references to the library. I haven't played with all the possible
aspects of this, but I have worked with CAD systems in the past where
you could swap the library out and get different symbols. I made big use
of this kind of thing when doing a chip layout in college once, when
laying out the chip, I used a library which just represented each logic
gate as a rectangle with a name in it. This allowed for very quick
re-draw speeds. When I was ready to produce a final image, I swapped in
the complete gate library.
