What do you dislike about AutoCAD Plant 3D?

Well, i think the downside of plant3D is embedded in what the tool was designed for. e.g Althoug the Process diagrams are a representation of flow, off which the connections can be validated, It doesnt necessarily output a design that can be executed on site. More software might be required to validate many other aspects of the design e.g Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
