NEW / ENHANCED:
  • Library Editor:

      • This new feature auto-generates the Google search engine string for the Part Number; the primary use for this feature is to quickly locate the Datasheet link

  • Added PADS Professional CAD tool format - https://www.pads.com/professional/

    • SIP component family – Fixed a regression issue that was introduced updating the DIP Socket

There was Contour Courtyard regression for Quad family packages. 

This issue was fixed 24 hours after the preliminary release.
