NEW:

  • CAD Tool Output:
    • Replaced “Model Body Outline” with “Component Outline and Lead Terminals” export to a user definable; the component package and lead terminals now come across into the PCB library to validate the solder joint
  • 3D STEP:
    • Color assignments are now located in the Calculator component families and saved to FPX; new Thumbnail 3D image was added for user to see new color assignments real time
    • Color assignments have been added to “Default Preferences”
  • Drafting Preferences:
    • Drafting tab was broken into category tabs for Silkscreen, Assembly, Courtyard and Component Data

FIXED / ENHANCED:

  • User Preferences:
    • Disassociated Silkscreen Lines from Pin 1 Dot. Now you can have one without the other.
    • Through-hole Solder Mask swell was not coming across
  • Library Editor:
    • Fixed an issue with deleting multiple rows in a FPX file. Deleting multiple rows caused an unexpected result.
    • XML FPX Viewer for through-hole now shows holes in the pad stack
  • Calculator:
    • Through-hole component families with rectangular lead shape had pad stacks rotated 90 degrees
    • Corner Concave pad shape now defaults to Rounded Rectangle
    • Selecting Mounting Holes threw an Unhandled Exception error
  • 3D STEP:
    • Through-hole component families with rectangular lead shape produced leads that were rotated 90 degrees due to the calculator bug
  • Altium:
    • Lead Outlines are now supported and will be put on the new Terminal Outline layer
    • Fixed an issue with Assembly Outlines
    • Assembly Top default is now eMechanical11, Terminal Outline is now eMechanical12, and 3D Top is still eMechanical13. This separates those layers. Change to wanted values as needed.
  • Allegro/OrCAD PCB:
    • Fixed an issue with slotted holes not having a thermals or anti-pad
    • Fixed an issue with the hole of a slotted hole being rotated 90 degrees
  • CR-5000:
    • IPC-7351 Style Naming will now use the exact same pad stack names as the FPX
  • Parts on Demand:
    • Now supports Unique XML FPX files
    • Request a Part is back on-line
