Customer Quotes

“To say that I am impressed with PADS Logic 2005 is an understatement. The improved performance and added features will greatly enhance our company's design entry capabilities. With the ability to generate intelligent PDF outputs, we can improve our global communication requirements without jeopardizing design integrity. Mentor Graphics has set a new standard of excellence for design entry software. Productivity has been greatly enhanced and the implementation of True Type Fonts and intelligent PDF outputs are icing on the cake. Never before have I felt such a sense of regret at seeing a Beta Review come to an end. I will definitely be among the first to install and use the next release. Mentor… Don't even THINK of delaying this release!”
