Sadly all the 'niche' industries (i.e. all of that ones without millions
of licenses around...) tends to have software that sucks really hard:P
To make a name Xilinx is one of these (at least with ISE, I don't know
Vivado since I use generation 6 parts).

So if you, for example, used prontoplace to handle board manufacturing
you would see *all the fscking silk and drawings* flipped over because
they misinterpreted the gencad specs (which is quite clear, BTW). They
acknowledge the bug but you have to flip them by yourself (or add an
option to flip it:P:P)
