Version 23.12 was just released!!

Fixes & Enhancements:

• Calculators:
• Calculator now will not trim pads for any part with manufacturer's dimensions and will display (in Footprint Warnings) which trimming functions were needed
• SMD Thermal Pads – Paste Mask checkerboard pattern created a non-symmetrical aperture when rounded corner pad shape was used
• Through-hole pad stacks – a minor adjustment was made to the PTH pad stack calculations for Thermal Relief patterns and Anti-pads
• FP Designer:
• Via pad stack calculator was not producing the correct Anti-pad size
• CAD Tool Interfaces:
• KiCad – versions 6 & 7 were not creating Rounded Rectangle or Chamfered Corner pad shape
• Eagle – rectangular through-hole pads were converted to square
• Allegro – Allegro import error 'Form editprop1'
• CAD tool options are now saved to individual files (this allows multiple setups to be saved)
