I could deal with a Windows 3.1 level of user interface, even a DOS 5.0 user interface, but with DX Designer I feel like my productivity would be better if I was actually PISSING my designs into a snowbank. Christ, I get a better user experience with CadSoft EAGLE, the pencil and quadrille paper I was designing with 30 years ago, or even the 80’s version of “HiWire” (the very first CAD I ever used). I want to share my opinions about it with you (whoever “you” are). The Mentor Graphics product really SUCKS and they know it well (because that is self-evident & I’ve told them so in detail). I have to say, compared to Altium, using the Mentor Graphics “PADSFlow” (or ‘ PADSFlaw‘ as I like to call their abysmal constellation of half-assed software) is like trying to teach a pig to whistle. I’d been using Altium Designer previously (and giving them Hell about minor issues, honestly), but the company decided to standardize on Mentor Graphics for PCB design. So, I’ve been fighting with Mentor Graphics’ DX Designer for the last week or so. Wordpress is free, so they aren’t disrespecting their customers every moment of every day andĬharging them thousands of dollars for it). (C’mon, you knew I was gonna say ‘ Well let me count the ways‘, didn’t you?Īll the outrage that follows is couched in light of the limitations of the WordPress interface.
