Version 2017.06 was just released!!


NEW / ENHANCED:
  • Help:
    • Added 70 new educational videos that cover every feature in Library Expert
    • Introduced BOM Builder program. Exchange your component list spreadsheet for POD parts.
  • Calculator:
    • Added 3 new component families
      • Radial Molded, Fuse
      • SOD, Non-polarized
      • MELF, Non-polarized Diode

FIXED:
  • Calculator:
    • Fixed the Courtyard Excess. When swelling solder mask, the Courtyard Excess was determined by the Mask and not the Pad.
    • All Header component families, the upper left “Pin Pattern” option was disabled
    • QFN component family - Fixed an issue with Rectangular Lead shape, changing pad shape did not work correctly
    • Fixed a Pad-to-Pad rule violation that trimmed the pad but not the solder mask
  • FP Designer:
    • The Finish tab was not counting the Thermal Pad in the total pin quantity
  • Preferences:
    • Added a note to the Preferences > Rules > Minimum Spacing Pad-to-Pad “for SMD use only (not PTH)”
  • 3D STEP:
    • Fixed an issue with offset body outline in FP Designer
    • Removed the Polarity Marking for 2-Pin DFN Non-polarized Diodes
    • Updated SOT23, removed the Polarity Dot because no mfr. package has one
    • Updated PTH Radial Disk with Offset Leads - fixed a bug with the new Radial Disk Pin Lead that was not offsetting the leads properly per their Z (in 3D Mechanical Coordinates) location
  • Allegro/OrCAD PCB V17.2:
    • Solved an issue when dealing with irregular pad stacks with corners
    • Fixed an issue where Chamfered Pads in FP Designer were not rotating correctly
  • P-CAD:
    • The error about Capture files has been fixed
