I recently had the chance to read an old interview published in EDN magazine & had the oppurtunity to learn about the innovators who worked behind the great PCB Layout Tool Orcad had been offering till recently.Earlier in 1995 Orcad had the best schematic tool but lacked a good PCB Layout Tool.So they bought the comapnay called Massteck which had already developed an excellent PCB Layout tool with great auto routing capability that achieved even 100% routing.Ken Wadland & Chuck Grant were two important people who worked behind the Massteck PCB Layout Tool
The full interview is available at the following link.
