It's Mentor's DxDesigner, nee ViewDraw.

Actually, it's a very nice schematic capture program, albeit very
expensive indeed.  It's about as easy to use as gschem, and they share
a lot of philosophical ideas about how a schematic capture program
should work.

The project manager which sits on top of it, DxDashboard or something
like that, is a dog.  The unix command line provides a much less
flakey working environment IMO.  When newbies complain about gEDA's
lack of a project manager, I'd like to give them DxDashboard to see
how long they could stand it before just starting to use the unix
shell.  ;-)
