Version 2017.19 was just released!!

NEW / ENHANCED:
Calculator:
All parts with Thermal Pads – if a Thermal Pad is less than 1.00 mm width, it will now get 100% Paste Mask Coverage
FIXED:
Calculator:
Non-Plated Mounting Holes – fixed an issue with the Keep-out size generation to follow the Hole Size instead of the pad size
Unique Parts:
Fixed and issue with footprints with associated copper on slotted holes. This affected all CAD tool translators.
POD Builder:
Fixed an issue that was creating Handled Exception Errors for certain parts
Library Editor:
The automatic Manufacturer Name feature was fixed to only activate in the Manufacturer column
Drafting Items:
Fixed an issue when placing Drafting Outlines on the Bottom Assembly layer, reopening the properties menu displayed the incorrect layer assignment
PADS Layout:
BGA component family – fixed an issue where unpopulated pins showed up in the Part Type
Xpedition:
Fixed a problem with non-plated slotted holes that used circular pads smaller than the hole size
Allegro/OrCAD PCB:
Fixed an issue with offsetting top pads
Chamfered Rectangular pads with a corner length greater than half the edge are now converted to custom pads. A rectangle pad stack in Cadence cannot have a corner length that exceeds more than half the width.
Custom Pads which are offset from the center of the Pad Stack are now removed from the pad stack and converted to free floating copper. This is the *only* known way of offsetting a shape symbol pad as Allegro appears to be bugged and will not save offsets for Shape Symbol Pads.
Fixed a problem with negative rotation arcs that end at 0
Fixed a problem that was causing an error when the build was run more than once
Attached copper shapes with an offset will now rotate properly with their underlying pad stack
The translator will now differentiate when you have two pad stacks that are exactly the same, but differ in offset of attached copper
KiCad:
Fixed an issue where the terminal outlines were getting duplicated. They should now be generated only once.
The two Ref Des texts will now swap their layer. The primary reference text being on the Fabrication layer, and the extra user reference being on the Silkscreen layer.
Filled Paste Mask shapes for thermal tab checker-board patterns will no longer translate as unfilled lines. Instead, they will come in as Pads named “” on the F.Paste layer.
