"AI features have not been released in the UK yet, so looking forward to trying them out but"

3.5/5

What do you like best about PADS Professional?

cautiously optimistic about the new AI features, can't figure out how the smart data sheets will work and how many vendors will support them, also the predictive commands sound great on paper but not sure if it will be Microsoft word's clippy style annoying? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PADS Professional?

I guess that it is not as capable as Xpedition, but the price reflects that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
