I completely agree with this.  When I used Accel EDA for some boards 
several years back, my impression at the time was "good tool", "easy to 
learn", and "lack of good assembly drawings make it not suitable for 
serious use in larger company".

Anymore, you don't really have to even try to end up with a board where 
you simply can't get the refdes silk in there with 0402's being commonplace.

Too many things to do, not enough time....
