Mentor Graphics Corporation, a Siemens business, is pleased to announce the availability of PADS VX.2.7 Update 1. The VX.2.7 release focuses on enhancements to the core technology, many of which have been suggested by you through Mentor Ideas.
PADS VX.2.7 is now available. This release is enhanced with many new features that improve product usability and efficiency. It includes key updates, enhancements and ideas submitted from our user community. Packed with new features across the design flow PADS Professionals VX.2.7 release empowers engineers and designers to create modern electronics products even faster.
Geared toward PCB designers and engineers looking for high-value, production-proven tools, PADS Standard provides schematic design and layout capabilities in an intuitive and easy-to-use environment. PADS Standard is ideal for less complex board design, and where cost is a high priority.
- PADS AMS 64-bit Simulator Enhancements
- Prior to VX.2.7 editing symbol properties and SimDB mapping worked primarily at the block level
- Designs using VHDL-AMS models now netlist faster, and regularly used tool dialogs take less time to start
- Smaller Install Size
- You can now check for silk screen over copper pads in the Verify Design Fabrication check
- DRC will check the pin type from symbol, block, and instance level
- Instead of oneGrid Display button in VX.2.7 there are two separate Grid Display and Grid Snap buttons.
- The Pop command was added to the RMB popup menu.
- The following commands were added to behave similar to web browsers: Close all, Close all but this, Close tabs to the left, and Close tabs to the right.
- An overwrite warning was added when generating PDF files

PADS Professional is the most capable member in PADS family, suitable for huge designs with complex rule sets. it is based on Xpedition technology and takes the advantage of integrated flow and central library. The basic package contains the Constraints editor, differential pair and high speed signal support, Variant manager, 3D features, basic Hyperlynx SI and Thermal, and as a new additon PADS AMS (Analog Mixed signal Simulator). As it contains also Fablink panel and Drawing editor, the package is extremely cost-effective.
