    • LCC – under certain conditions with dimensions and tolerances, pin 1 would inadvertently relocate from the Left Center to the Lower Left.
    • 4-Pin DFN – when using the mfr. recommended pattern, pins 3 & 4 did not follow the mfr. dimensional values.
    • Header, Right Angle Post and Shrouded – the footprint name had 0 for package height and the Physical Description had 0.00 for Height.
  • FP Designer:
    • Pad Stack Manager – updated the feature for renaming pad stacks to include spaces in the name.
