    • Fixed an issue with Saving My Settings causing an Unhandled Exception Error
  • Options:
    • Added a new Rounded Rectangle feature for through-hole square pads in V2021.17 that caused regression for all SMD and PTH rounded rectangle pads

  • FP Designer:
    • Added Cole switches to the ManufactureList.txt
    • Fixed a Silkscreen on Pad bug in V2021.17 that caused regression for all FP Designer footprint silkscreen outlines
  • Calculators:
    • The master options value for Paste Mask is for Annular Ring and it was set to oversize instead
