Version 2013.18 was just released!! FIXED / ENHANCED: - When putting out PADS Layout .p & .d files, the terminals in the .d file will contain the ordinal pin numbers for pin mapping purposes. ASCII output will not be affected
- FP Designer – missing Origin Marker
- Updated the SM FPX file – CGA’s, TO (DPAK’s) and broken web-links
- SODFL – S Dimension on Footprint Tab
- Find/Replace text in Librarian Editor
- Updated Help File
- CGA & LGA solder joint goal periphery were set to 0 (zero)
- To update your program, you must do 1 of 2 options (Option 1 is best but if you are using custom User Preference files use options 2 & 3)
- Delete DefaultPreferences.dat and UserPreferences.dat in this folder –
- C:\Program Files (x86)\PCB Libraries\Library Expert 2013
- Start the program and it will auto-generate new preference files
- Open User Preferences > Terminals > SM Grid Array > CGA
- Change the VAR.+ value from 0 to 0.20
- Open User Preferences > Terminals > SM Grid Array > LGA
- Change the VAR.+ value from 0 to 0.05
- Allegro - Footprint Names will now have a hard limit of 30 characters as Allegro has a bug which will not allow it to create a .psm file with more than 30 characters. In order to achieve this, for a Footprint Name longer than 30 characters, the 29th character will be a ‘-‘ followed by an ordinal number (i.e. -1,-2,-3) to avoid repeats. In 99.9% of the cases, it’ll simply be -1. This should allow parts with names longer than 30 characters to be generated in Allegro without issue. The directory and filenames for the scripts should remain the same.
- Allegro – Fixed an issue with freestanding arcs
NEW: - Added Outward L lead, CAPAE and XTAL component
families to the Extended Footprint Naming Convention to eliminate Footprint
Name duplication
- To update your FPX file in the Librarian –
