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)
