- Parts Libraries:
- TTL 74xx
- connectors
- crystals
- linear series
- voltage regulators
- resistors: discrete and arrayed
- capacitors
- transistors
- PALs
- LEDs
- RAM ICs
- easy to generate user-defined parts

- Output formats:
- PostScript
- Color for design checking
- B/W for mask generation

- Gerber (RS-274X)

- Output layers:
- up to 8 routing layers
- component mask
- solder mask
- silkscreen(s)
- drill file(s)
- solder paste

- Design Rule Checking (DRC)
- Complex ground/power planes
