you can use MW office to design circuit layout. There is a direct translation from circuit to layout, provided you link lumped element and other components with appropriate layout (you have to create them seperately).
MWO layout tool may be okay for small circuits like the PA or LNA. But for the entire phone PCB, the tool is not powerful enough. A typical cellular phone is tightly packed 6 or 8 layers with blind and buried vias. PADS can handle that.
hare0105, if you run simulation for CPW or microstrip circuit, make sure the dimension is properly defined. Check and view the layout by a clicking "layout" shortcut at the top window. you will see the layout converted directly from circuit to layout. If you use any lumped element or active device in your circuit window, which default layout is blank, you will see the distributed layout after conversion. Therefore you have to create them (lumped element or active device)seperately and link to symbol in circuit window.
If the layout is fine, then you can export it in format like dxf, gbr, etc...
