  • PADS:
    • Turning “Map Alphanumeric Pins” off when generating a p/d pair will now properly send any alphanumeric pins to the Part Decal
    • Hidden or Deleted pins now import properly

    • Polarity Marker Dots are now properly handled, and the output has been cleaned up
  • FP Designer:
    • Adjusted the size limits for small Die Patterns getting error message “Design Limits Exceeded”
