    • All CAD tools – unable to open previously saved option files.
    • eCADSTAR – removed "Pin Naming" feature.
  • Footprint Viewer Toolbar:
    • Renamed the Tool Tip for the layer dropdown menu to "Bring To Front".
  • Calculators:
  • Flange Mount Vertical – selecting pins threw an Unhandled Exception error.
