2021.07 was just released!!

Updates & Bugs Fixed:
Updated all the CAD tool interface UI menus.
Updated the V2021 FPX File Converter.
Console Options:
Mil Units – working strictly in Mil units slightly altered the pin pitch in Gull Wing, J-Lead and Bottom Terminal footprints. Translating metric to mil units worked OK.
Print Feature:
Updated the Footprint Dimension letters in the table to match the letters in the image.
FP Designer:
Through-hole pad stacks with a solder mask swell was not working correctly.
The Placement Courtyard was not going around Non-plated Holes correctly.
Calculator Component Families:
Options – setting the “Pads & Tabs on Assembly” would not turn off when selecting “Clear and Reset Options”.
SOT23 – fixed a typo. The 0.95 pitch was displaying the wrong pitch range in the Terminal Density Level UI.
SON with Thermal Tab – translating these parts to V2021 had the X1/Y1 dimensions swapped.
SIP – added the ability to enter a negative value.
PLCC – corrected the Pin 1 location for 20-pin versions. Pin 1 was offset and relocated to the Center.
SOJ – fixed an issue for the minimum pad to pad clearance.
TO-220 Flange Mount – Updated the component family from TO-220 to TO because it can be used for all Flange Mounted packages.
TO – Updated the footprint naming convention to add both the pin pitch and pin span.
Header, Right Angle Post – fixed an issue when the E dimension was missing and the Calculate button threw an Exception Error.
Radial, LED – updated the 3D Model pin colours. During testing the pins were set to green and yellow and not converted back.
DPAK – the feature for “Pads on Assembly” was disabled.
FPX File Converter:
Fixed an Unhandled Exception error when the Cancel button was selected.
