I tried using the package designer to create a component. I imported the component into the library. Saved the library.  Restarted the program. Opened the library. The part is listed. Double clicked on the component and I get the following error:
System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
   at ..(String ,  , LandPatternData& )
And the part no longer has any pins/pads.

I just tried repeating this a few times. The error only occurs with surface mount pads. Through hole pads seem OK.

Find/Replace

Testing 2013-00 on Win7-x64.

Two issues:
A) Can't refine a search using current list
 
  1. Opened SAMPLE library. 
  2. Clicked on Find/Replace icon.
  3. Typed BGA, "Look In" set to current library,
  4. Clicked LIST ALL
  5. Typed in 0.80, "Look In" set to current list
  6. Clicked LIST ALL
The results list 'forgot' about the previous downselect on BGA and listed all those items found in the library with 0.80 including SOT and BGA and QFP.  It is as though the CURRENT LIB vs CURRENT LIST didn't affect the second search.

B) Error when refining search using LIST NEXT
If, in step 6, I pressed LIST NEXT instead, I will get an "Unhandled Exception ... Current cell cannot be set to an invisible cell" error.  A portion of the Details:

************** Exception Text **************
System.InvalidOperationException: Current cell cannot be set to an invisible cell.
   at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.set_CurrentCell(DataGridViewCell value)
   at ..()
   at ..(Object , EventArgs )
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m)

We're working on fixing this issue right now. It will be fixed in the next release later today/tonight.
 
Thanks!

Thank you. I can now set the "Courtyard Outline" and the "3D Model Outline" to layer 27 to stop them ending up on the silkscreen when imported into DipTrace.
This last version also seems to fix the problem I had trying so save and load SMT parts created with the package designer.

There has been discussions about the changes to the PADS interface.

 
I noticed that there are no changes in the 2013 version.
 
When do you anticipate those changes will be implemented ?

There will be a ton of updates and changes in V2013 this year.
 
But first we are focused on mission critical features that have the highest priority.
  1. Add a new "Footprint Designer" to double the number of Footprints (including all Connectors and most non-standard packages)
  2. Add 3D STEP models that auto-generate from FPX files

I expect these things to be completed by July and then we'll take on all the other feature requests.

The pre-release Footprint Expert v2013.01 is now available here.

Until it is released from beta, only the following users can install/use this:
  1. Original purchase after December 1, 2012
  2. Have a USB Key that works with v2012
 If you do not qualify for both of these and you still want to evaluate, please contact us offline.

Hi Guys,
 
I have Win7 but I have also a message "Unhandled exception" when I double click on the Desktop Icon. If I click on "Continue", it trys to load something but nothing happens. Is there any solution?
 
Thanks,
Karine
