Hello All,
 
After export a TH component to CADSTAR, the exit direction is set per default to North/South/East/West only.
 
How can a manipulate the settings to all 8 sectors.
 

Regards Olaf

Hello All,
 
It's a bug in CADSTAR since V14.0.
 
If the Header information in the .cpa is under Version .17 the :
 
(EXITS N E S W)
 
Is ignored and "Free Angle" is checked.
 
So I need a button in Library Expert that I will not have "(EXITS N E S W)" informations,  if they fix CADSTAR.
 
Regards Olaf

Try to add the following: (EXITS NW N NE E SE S SW W)
 
Maybe it will correct the problem.
 
If it will be OK tell it to this forum so Chrisa_pcb can correct the translator. http://www.pcblibraries.com/Forum/member_profile.asp?PF=532" rel="nofollow -

Does the Legacy(older than v14) Cadstar support the 45 degree exits? Or is it just v14? I.e. do you want the new form on all versions, or just v14?

 
I've constrained it to v14 for the time being, let me know on the other versions. It'll be in .17.
