Using the FP designer to create a 14 pin smt header. Changing the silkscreen pin 1 dot size or auto-generate Pin 1 indicator line, does not do anything on the screen. The silkscreen line width is 0.127.

Due to the recent changes in IPC-7351C, V2015.18 has a new feature.

Open Preferences > Drafting > Silkscreen > Auto-generate Pin 1 Line > turn on/off
