    • Help file included with installer and no longer needs to be downloaded

FIXED:
  • Calculator:
    • MELF 3D STEP model color assignment image (preferences) was clipped
    • Fixed an issue where the Legend and Assembly Ref Des Label was stuck on 270 degrees
      • Now the Labels are rotated correctly reflecting the rotation and length of the part
      • Label orientation value not displaying correctly in the query properties dialog form
    • When moving a rotated Calculator part to FP Designer, the Legend in FP Designer did not rotate

      • Updated via pad stack to remove thermal pattern for direct connection to plane

    • When changing units to Mils, selecting FP Designer defaulting to Millimeters instead of Mils
    • Changing the Legend Label line width changed the Assembly Label line width (not the Legend)

    • Fixed an issue when importing older PADS V2004 & V2007 format p/d files
