Important Notice for the V2015.12 Release (Only if you use FP Designer):

Before you install V2015.12 you need to be prepared to update all your FP Designer Parts pad stacks, http://www.PCBLibraries.com/downloads/V2015.12-Update-FP%20Designer-FPX-Pad-Stacks.pdf" rel="nofollow - see instructions here. There was a major improvement in the way FP Designer FPX pad stacks are saved and recalled. V2015.12 is not backward compatible with previous releases. If you have any custom “FP Designer” parts (not standard Calculator parts!) in your FPX data files you will need to update the pad stacks. You can do this yourself or http://www.pcblibraries.com/contactus/" rel="nofollow - contact us and we can assist and/or explain how you can update your FP Designer FPX files for use with the new .12 release. This issue has nothing to do with the CAD tool libraries you created, but it will cause a problem in the future if you don’t fix and resave them with the .12 release.

    • Added feature for creating Polarity shapes and place then by coordinates
