Hi to all, I am using PCBL 2022.02 and working with a SOIC-8; when I create the component in Altium, running the script, the mark for pin1 doesn't appear in the STEP. Is it configurable? I exported the demo footprint for SOIC/SOP (SOP24P65) and the mark appeared... What I could be doing wrongly? Thanks for your help. Best Regards, dramos

V2022.03 is available with new features and 15 bug fixes. The 50-mil pitch SOIC that was introduced in the 1980's has a Chamfer all along the top edge in the side where Pin 1 is.  The Dot Polarity Marker did not come out until the metric pitch SOP's. This is how you can tell the difference between a SOIC and SOP. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

Hi, I think you can consider changing a
monitor. Maybe you can try TFT LCD. I've used it before. It's really an
excellent monitor |
