Hello,

PCB Library Expert Pro V2016.04 -

When changing a parameter in the tab 'Component -> Dimensions' after changing a parameter in the tab 'Drafting', the changed parameter in the tab 'Drafting' gets lost and the value specified in 'Preferences' is applied.

This was tested on multiple values in the 'Drafting' tab.

Regards,
Christian

That's the way Library Expert Lite works.

You enter all component dimensions first.

Then you change local "Preferences" if you need to.

Then, if you change any component dimension, the program thinks you're creating a new part so it resets all "Preferences" back to default values.

However, with Library Expert Pro you setup all your Preferences and you can change any component dimension and your Preferences do not change, the Preferences are automatically applied to the new component dimensions.
