Will surface mount connectors be added anytime soon.

I've been using FP Designer to create them but it would be nice to get the good looking 3D models instead of a colored block.

IPC-7351C does not support the auto-calculation of SMD connectors from bent terminal leads.

Most connector mfr.'s provide excellent free 3D STEP models and perfect mfr. recommended patterns for FP Designer.
