Version 2016.10 was just released!!

NEW / ENHANCED:
*NEW* PCB Libraries now offers a complete library service for BOM fulfillment. We create schematic symbols, footprints and 3D STEP models for your complete BOM or all the missing parts to complete your BOM. We will create custom parts in your CAD tool format using your library design rules.
Send us your BOM and tell us what you want and we'll provide a free quote.
24 hour turnaround on BOM's with less than 300 part numbers.
LEAP Database Subscription coming soon (Libraries Enhanced with Automated Preferences):
New LEAP library content subscriptions available soon here – www.pcblibraries.com/LEAP
Adds hundreds of thousands of new parts not on POD
Includes Schematic Symbols, Footprints and customized 3D STEP models
Documents on – www.pcblibraries.com/downloads
Updated – Surface Mount Component Families.pdf
Added BGA and CGA IPC-7351C (Proposed) Solder Joint Goal Tables v1.2.xlsx
Updated – IPC-7351B Naming Convention for Mounting Holes
FIXED:
Calculator:
Non-plated Hole footprint name now has a “A” when Annular Ring Pad Shape is used
Updated the indicator light in the Viewer to enhance the description of the various colors
Fixed all parts with Thermal Tabs with disappearing radius corners when outputting Terminals
Fixed PSON Mfr. Footprint ‘S’ dimension display value
Preferences:
Added new 3D STEP families for through-hole Radial Disk Resistor and Varistor
CGA and LGA Terminal Leads were updated in the IPC-7351B version
FP Designer:
Fixed an issue when the hole size exceeded 12.70 mm the program now throws a Warning message
Calculator QFN was dropping the Legend line if it was less than 5 mm. Rule changed to 2 mm.
Fixed an issue with Quad packages in Calculator and moved to FP Designer created dual pad stacks with the same name
Fixed the pin text so long pin names will not overlap
3D STEP:
Added through-hole Radial Disk Resistor and Varistor
Fixed Side Concave 2, 4-Pin Oscillator for micro-miniature version
PADS to CAD:
Fixed a rotation problem concerning free-floating pieces of paste mask
Fixed an issue that was causing the corner radius on rounded rectangles to only be half what they should be when importing PADS files
PADS:
Fixed an issue that was causing D-Shaped pads to translate to PADS improperly
Fixed an issue with chamfered cornered pads with associated copper
Expedition:
Fixed a translation problem with paste mask checkerboard when it’s on a pin that is both rotated and offset from the origin
Fixed a problem that was causing the layers not to fully display
Fixed a problem that was preventing the Component Outline from being translated into a Placement Outline
Allegro:
The 17.2 pad stack scripts will now set the unit precision manually to 4 decimal places. This mirrors what was done previously and allows it to not rely on the default precision.
CR-5000:
m callouts for solder mask pads will split out properly to be used for the pad name when using IPC-7351 naming
Adjusted the naming so that the corners callout stays with its copper pad name, and not the paste mask callout of the pad name
Fixed a bug that was causing paste mask checkerboard to also be generated outside of the pad stack, causing an error
OrCAD Layout:
Terminal Shapes will be redirected to Layer 16 (Comment Layer)
Windows:
Fixed form format in windows with 125% resolution bug causing Calculator Form Layout issues
