V2017.11 has all known bugs fixed and a new feature for automatically adding Bottom Side "Wave Solder Placement Keep-outs" to through-hole footprints.

V2017 is very close to the last release this year. We will not add any new features to V2017 (except a very important one coming soon) and that will be it until we release V2018.

A bit more detailed description of custom Preference file change process:

1. Set "Preferences" > "Console" > "SMD Density Level (suffix)" to "Least (L)"

2. Change  "Preferences" > "Terminals" > "Gull Wing" > "SOD" > "Density Level" > "Side" from 0.20 to 0.05

3. Set "Preferences" > "Console" > "SMD Density Level (suffix)" to your original density level

4. Save Preferences file

Why you are updating software every month with lots of bugs most of the time. We need to update software about 15 times each year. I think your software testing is not good. Because we are facing so many bugs in each version. It is good if you release 2 or 3 versions in a year by testing all functions.

  • Go back to Console and change the Density Level back to your default setting
  • Save your Preference file

      • Calculator & 3D STEP:
        • Added ‘Filter’ component family to Chip and Molded Body
