pads现在还是更好一些,但是vx.2.6以后就没有新功能了。现在已基本停止开发了,pads已经被抛弃了。当初router和layout合并,N年之后还是老样子,现在只修bug和适配新版windows了。 国外网友发的: Hey yall... I had a good talk with Robert Yoder at Mentor Support yesterday. He is one of their support guys I have really liked over the years. He confirmed a lot of what I have heard about on this forum, and thought I would just pass on what he said about the future of PADS. He said: PADS will for sure be supported for many years to come albeit with less personal (they currently have 2 full time support people for PADS left, the rest have retired or been let go), but it will not be further developed with new features. They will just be fixing bugs mostly. PADS will be kept current with the latest OS. Right now, VX2.11 does not work well with Windows 11, but they will make a Windows 11 compatible version soon. If you want to stay in the highly supported (with new features still happening) PADS world, then you would need to upgrade to using PADS Pro (with DxDesigner and integrated flow). PADS Netlist flow is no longer going to get upgrades other than bug fixes and OS compatibility fixes So, PADS will be around for a long time to come and also be supported with customer service (albeit a smaller crew of AEs), but it will not be further developed other than mainly bug fixes and OS updates.
