Version 2017.18 was just released!!

NEW / ENHANCED:

• Calculator:
• All parts with Thermal Pads – if a Thermal Pad is less than 1.00 mm width, it will now get 100% Paste Mask Coverage
• FP Designer:
• Accounted for condition where the ManufacturerList.txt or PhysicalDescription.txt is missing
• KiCad:
• Added the ability to output both the component outline and terminal outlines; these graphics get placed on the Dwgs.user layer
  

FIXED:

• Calculator:
• Mounting Hole component family – fixed an issue with non-plated hole solder mask not mapping to the Hole Size
• Molded Body component family – fixed an issue when using Tools > Regenerate Library > Descriptions the Length value was 0.00
• SOD & SODFL component families – fixed an issue with the Footprint Naming Convention: Tools > Regenerate Library > Names fixed the problem
• SOD & SODFL component families – fixed an issue with the Physical Description: Tools > Regenerate Library > Descriptions fixed the problem
• LCC component family – fixed an issue when L and L1 dimensions are the same value, pin 1 relocates from the middle to the corner and the Footprint Name should change from LCC to LCCS
• Non-Plated Mounting Holes – fixed an issue with the Keep-out size generation to follow the Hole Size instead of the pad size
• FP Designer:
• Fixed an issue in the Pad Stack Designer for chamfered SMD pads with solder mask swell; the chamfer on the solder mask was not 100% accurate
• Fixed an issue when moving parts from the Calculator that had mfr. recommended patterns to FP Designer, the program created 2 pad stacks the same size
• Preferences:
• Fixed an issue with "Save As" a new Preference file when Library Expert Pro is installed in a new folder
• Xpedition:
• Fixed issue with arcs in associated copper polygons
• Fixed issue with Mounting Hole Satellite Vias having a direct connection to the GND plane
• Allegro/OrCAD PCB:
• Fixed a bug with pin rotations
• KiCad:
• The Reference Designator on Assembly Top will now translate properly
