The tab sequence for the data entry text fields in the FP Designer isn't intuitive.

I'd expect to go down the window in order:

Units > Shape > Lengh (X) > Wdith (Y) > height (Z) > Courtyard Excess > etc.

Instead there's:

  Units > height (Z) > Shape > Lengh (X) > Wdith (Y) > Courtyard Excess > etc.

A little annoying if you've clicked in the Lengh (X) field and then tried to use tab to go through the rest.

The tab sequence in the Pad Stack Designer window in FP Designer is also not intuitive, it goes all over the place.

I'd expect:

Lead
Shape > X > Y
Hole
Shape > Fab level > Plated
Assy Dwg > X

Instead there's

Lead
Shape > Y > X
Hole
Assy Dwg > Shape > X > Plated

I expect to tab left to right and then top to bottom.

The tab sequence in the Pad Stack Designer window in FP Designer is better, thanks, but the tab sequence in first tab of the FP Designer, "Body" still goes from:

Physical Characteristics
Shape > Height (Z) > Length (X) > Width (Y)

Where I think it should be:

Physical Characteristics
Shape > Length (X) > Width (Y) > Height (Z)

As this would then match the order the fields appear, top to bottom, in the window.

Got it.  For some reason I thought you were referring to actual control 'Tabs' not the keyboard tab order.
