   2022.08 was just released!!

Updates & Bugs Fixed:
Options:
Drafting Outlines – Assembly polarity indicator option changed to on as Default
Silkscreen polarity dot default options changed to most = 0.60, nom = 0.50, least = 0.40
BGA and CGA default percent values changed to reflect IPC-7351B pad size calculation
Options 'Ask to Save' message pops up redundantly on program close
Terminals > Grid Array > BGA – updated the pad reduction percentages to match IPC-7351B pad sizes
Calculators:
DPAK – orientation changed to match dimension reference drawing
2-Pin Packages SMD & PTH – updated the assembly polarity marking to lower left to be consistent with semiconductor assembly polarity marking
BGA – silkscreen outline not closing; dot not relocating correctly when rotated
BGA – when using the min/max dimensions only and mapping the Assembly Outline to the Nominal body caused errors
Problem with silkscreen for AE Caps and DFN2's when terminal widths get too large or silkscreen maps to minimum body
DFN3 and DPAK Tabs now treated as signal pins instead of thermal tabs
DFN silkscreen over pads in some parts with wide lead spacing
Library Editor:
Added trap for illegal ASCII characters in library edits, helps prevent FPX files from getting corrupted
Library 'Find' function doesn't work after translating a part
Date formatted info not loading correctly from library sometimes
Library sort – pasted cells go to the end
Importing libraries with missing footprint dates not working
FP Designer:
Rotation, Mirror and Polarity Dot functions not working correctly
Pin import function not functioning correctly
CAD Tool Interfaces:
Xpedition menu not showing the Component Outline layer selection option
Allegro and OrCAD PCB 3D files not saving to the correct folder
Miscellaneous:
Programs crashes when opening with FPX double-click
