Version 2016.08 was just released!!

NEW / ENHANCED:
Documentation:
What’s New in IPC-7351C? has been updated – www.pcblibraries.com/downloads
Help > Topics > User Interface has been updated
Added new Excel spreadsheet documentation to compare IPC-7351B with the proposed IPC-7351C
Added in this installation folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\PCB Libraries\Library Expert 2016\Documents
Preferences:
Add Incremental Pin Pitch for Gull Wing and Concave and Body Length for Chips
Now you have more options for solder joint goals
There is a new Preference file – PCB Libraries.dat that has all new solder joint goal values
If you need a webcast for an explanation of this new technology contact us
Additional information about this update is here - http://www.pcblibraries.com/forum/new-2016-solder-joint-goals_topic1921.html
Added a new Preference > Rule option for Cathode/Anode default pin names – Alphanumeric or Numeric
Altium:
A layer tabs update has been installed just before the full update at the end of component creation to help post-process scripts
At the start of library creation the cursor will now become an hourglass, at the end it changes back to an arrow
As part of the STEP update, updated the scripting so that it can handle mils and inches natively. As there are no functions that I know of for Microns, millimeter conversions of the Micron values (basically what was done before) are used in that instance.
FP Designer:
Pad Stack Manager:
Any edited pad layers with a zero pad size are deleted
Any pad stacks with all pad layers with a zero pad size will be deleted unless there’s a hole
3D STEP:
Added a new option for micro-miniature SOFL’s

FIXED:
Preferences:
Changing the Pad Stack Name to Mils did not save to Console Preferences
FP Designer:
Creating hole sizes in Mil Units sometimes rounded of incorrectly
Calculator:
Fixed an issue with 4-Pin Concave Chip Array pad size calculation
Fixed an issue where the calculator Footprint tab was dropping the default values
The scroll bar in the component dimension panel now defaults to the UP position
Fixed a Legend issue with Corner Concave Oscillators
Fixed the Pin 1 default location for Receptacle Headers to upper left
3D STEP:
Fixed an issue with changing units between mils and mm
Fixed issues in dealing with non-millimeter unit types
Fixed a graphic display issue for the color selection images when the screen resolution was set to 125%
CR-5000:
Fixed an issue where terminal outlines were causing the pad stacks to build improperly
Allegro/OrCAD PCB:
Fixed an issue with pads with associated copper being rotated in the wrong direction during a PADS -> CAD Conversion
