   Version 23.11 was just released!!
Fixes & Enhancements:
Calculators:
Calculator now will not trim pads for any part with manufacturer’s dimensions and will display (in Footprint Warnings) which trimming functions were needed
SMD Thermal Pads – Paste Mask checkerboard pattern created a non-symmetrical aperture when rounded corner pad shape was used
Through-hole pad stacks – a minor adjustment was made to the PTH pad stack calculations for Thermal Relief patterns and Anti-pads
FP Designer:
Via pad stack calculator was not producing the correct Anti-pad size
CAD Tool Interfaces:
KiCad – versions 6 & 7 were not creating Rounded Rectangle or Chamfered Corner pad shape
Eagle – rectangular through-hole pads were converted to square
Allegro – Allegro import error ‘Form editprop1’
CAD tool options are now saved to individual files (this allows multiple setups to be saved)
