That's strange. About two years ago I was looking to purchase a low cost
schematic capture and autorouter and settled on Circuit Creator Pro
(actually Visual Spice Pro from Island Logix who license the code from AMS -
or the other way round I couldn't care less).
In short, I own this product (version 5.12) amongst others. The different
components making up the suite have been written without regard to user
interface consistency, in fact, whilst the schematic capture and simulation
module has a modern look and feel about it, the auto-routing module is a
throw back to Windows 3.1 standards. But this is trivial compared to what
follows.
I found the simulator unstable and prone to lockups especially when changing
component values during a simulation. Simulation results were inconsistent.
Scaling of simulation graphs and associated controls were also inconsistent.
At the moment, the product is gathering dust after a string of support calls
of which the last 4 met with no response at all. As a software developer (25
years) I don't understand how 'Circuit Creator' was deemed fit to market at
all.
Now I see this joker has the temerity to extol a product I know for a fact
will dissapoint.
Honestly, especially the newbies to electronics in general, stay away, well
away from this product.
