NEW:

• Calculator
• Ability to set tab stops for entering dimensions in either nom/tolerance or min/max
• New Component Families
• Side Concave Inductors
• DFN 2-Pin Fuse
• Updated Toe Solder Joint Goals for Chip component less than 1.6 mm in length per the upcoming IPC-7351C
• 0402 Toe is now set to 0.15 mm
• 0201 Toe is now set to 0.12 mm
• 01005 Toe is now set to 0.10 mm
• Updated Periphery Solder Joint Goals for DFN component less than 1.6 mm in length per upcoming IPC-7351C
• Periphery Goal for these micro-miniature bottom only terminal packages is now set to -0.04 mm
• FP Designer
• Offset slotted holes
• Side Chamfered Rectangle Pads that are new in the Pad Stack Designer now export to CAD tools properly
• Issue related to the offsetting of pads. It should now translate properly the new offset functionality in the Pad Stack Designer.
• New FPXC to CAD Translator
• Added 3D STEP model output from FPXC files from the translator as an extruded block
• PADS to CAD was changed to FPXC to CAD. Now converts our new neutral library format to any CAD tool.
• FPXC to CAD now has a new Viewer to visually see the footprint features prior to importing it into their library
• FPXC to CAD was relocated from the Main Toolbar to the “Utility Tools” drop down
• 3D STEP
• Added models for new family Inductor, Side Concave 2 and 4 pin. Also added a model for new Family DFN 2-pin Fuse.
• Parts on Demand (POD)
• Added 17,000+ new parts
• Allegro/OrCAD PCB
• The ability to turn off the truncation of land pattern names is now available. Only use this if your version of Allegro or OrCAD PCB supports land pattern names longer than 30 characters.
• The grid change line in the pad stack creation is no longer applicable and useless(it previously caused an irrelevant error in the .jrl file that was ignored and did nothing). As such, it has been deprecated.
• PCAD, Pulsonix, and DesignSpark
• These 3 formats now only accept numeric layers and should be more understandable, as the LIA format they’re based on was never designed to actually accept custom strings as layer names. The LayerNumRef literal that was used in the Layer String is now automatically inserted any time a layer number is called out in the output.
• PADS
• VX is now supported as a PADS output
• PADS ASCII: When using a Part Type Name that is different from the Part Decal Name, the program will now properly use the Part Type Name rather than the Part Decal Name when calling out the Part in the .ASC
• Altium
• PADS ASCII files for Altium will be generated without use of PADS arcs. Instead, it will describe the arc as a series of points in the polygon. This should cause the D-Shapes and other such pads that use associated copper to render properly.

FIXED / ENHANCED:

• Calculator
• Updated ability to Solder Mask Define Thermal Pads
• FP Designer
• Issue with Courtyard Excess to Pad clearance now works correctly
• 3D STEP
• Issue with the DIP leads that was causing them to not hit their exact location properly
• Replaced the DIP body that had some slight plane issues, with a clean model
• QFP floating Pin 1 polarity marker no longer overlaps the body edge when Pin 1 is close to the edge
• Adjusted the DIP to compensate for additional configurations
• Adjusted the DFN 2-Pin Diode model to have a polarity marker
• Pulsonix
• A new format for Pulsonix is online. The ability to export to PADS ASCII will still be available in the tool for a short time and is accessed by selecting Pulsonix (PADS).
• PCAD, Pulsonix & DesignSpark
• Issue causing Rounded Rectangles to import improperly
• EAGLE
• Issue that was preventing the top polygon of a D-Shape pad from generating properly
• Solder Mask and Paste Mask have been fixed to directly mirror the exact shape of a D-Shape pad
• When selecting rows in a FPX file to Build Library, the program froze
• The Micro Chip component courtyard was accidentally changed from 0.15 mm to 0.25 mm
• Right clicking on the FPXC Viewer no longer crashes it
• Stencil pattern no longer shrinks the trim
• Extents for micro parts expanded in Viewer to include polarity dot
• Preferences for micro DFN & CHIPS updated
• If you don’t see this remove or update your preference files
