PADS Professional Flow
The PADS Professional VX.2.10 release addresses a number of user reported issues and incorporates available user feedback on new functionality introduced in the past release

PADS Professional is powerful, but it’s also easy to learn, use, and afford. It’s designed to givethe experienced user all the horsepower they need, yet intuitive, so casual or occasional users can accelerate their time to productivity.

The full flow of PADS Professional enables you to design, validate and manufacture PCB-centric systems incorporating advanced FPGA devices.

Electro-Mechanical Co-design : PADS Professional enables PCB and mechanical engineers to collaborate in real-time built on world-class collaboration data transfer standards that eliminate boundaries and accelerate time-to-market.
Routing Automation : Routing automation reduces PCB layout by up to 80%. With electronics design becoming more complex, automation is a major competitive advantage for experienced designers and engineers who “do-it-all”.
Rigid-Flex : From flex/rigid-flex operations that understand unique structures, constraints, plane management, materials, and stack-ups, PADS Professional has the features to support flex/rigid-flex design.
Analog/Mixed-Signal Simulation : Proper design practices and close attention to detail are essential for accurate functionality in analog mixed-signal (AMS) portions of your PCBs.
Signal Integrity Analysis : Ensure that you are getting designs right the first time, avoiding costly overdesign, and saving recurrent test cycles with built-in HyperLynx signal integrity analysis in PADS Professional.
Design-for-Manufacturing : Using integrated design for manufacturing analysis, electronic engineers and PCB designers can quickly and easily identify common issues that cause costly delays in PCB fabrication and assembly, before hand-off to manufacturing.
RF Design : RF design is being driven by a growth in electronic devices using 6 to 100 GHz wireless technology, requiring access to PCB design tools to enable wireless design automation.
PartQuest Portal - Part Search & Creation Made Simple : Empowers engineers to find the highest quality part content with validated and maintained ECAD models of tens of millions of parts. Powerful templates make part building easy for even complex parts.
Connect for PADS Professional : Connect for PADS Professional is a secure cloud workspace empowering design team collaboration. With desktop integration, design data is organized for sharing, visualization, BOM review, and more.
Supply Chain Application : The Supply Chain application empowers engineers with real-time component sourcing data to make more informed part decisions when cost-of-change is lowest.
