NEW:

    • When reordering pins and Pin 1 is in the upper right, the program will now automatically rotate the part to put Pin 1 to match the Zero Orientation rules
  • Viewer for Unique Packages:
    • The V2015 XML FPX format for highly unique (complex) packages can view the footprint prior to building it

FIXED / ENHANCED:

  • Calculator:
    • 2-pin parts - the placement courtyard was being pushed out ½ the thickness of the silkscreen line width on Chip and Molded Body footprints
    • Pin reorder not working properly for SOT’s with pins that have been renamed
    • Component orientation not in accordance with the setting preference when pin 1 is relocated
