The above issues outweighed the benefits in the end, it went from a daily used software to one I just open from time to time ... I don't have the time or patience to keep old versions of Illustrator for such a niche use case.

I love how easily BPT pro integrated into Illustrator and was able to instantly start generating dimensions and callouts to my files with very little learning curve. I work with a CAD dept in my company, and this allowed me to do the basic functions of CAD in my files to output accurate and thorough proofs without needing to lean on that dept. to do those portions for me. It had more features that I technically needed, but from time to time I would dive into some of the other features.

The most frustrating part of BPT-Pro is that their speed to update the software to keep up with Illustrator updates was abysmal. It would literally be a month+ later after an Illustrator update we would finally get an update for BPT that made it compatible. One time, I waited so long for an update, that Illustrator literally updated twice in the time span it took them to update. When you reach out to their support, the replies were always "we are working on it", "there is no eta", etc. and all they would suggest is to have multiple versions of Illustrator installed, so you could go into an old version in order to keep using their software.

Great help for documenting important vector work and preparation for 3rd parties.

Easy functionality, no bugs, great support

Could improve in easy to reach preferences for the actual design of the arrows, fonts, etc. and with function to save different prerequisite to choose from for different jobs.
