NEW / ENHANCED:
  • Library Editor:
    • Added a new column to all FPX files at the end called “Date” when selecting “New FPX”
      • When you add a new part to FPX, the Date is auto-populated if the Date column is present
      • When you update an existing part and update FPX the Date will reflect the new Date & Time
      • Existing FPX files must have the Date column manually added if you want this feature
      • If you create a New FPX and don’t want the Date column, RMB > Delete > Column
    • Updated SM, BGA, TH and Sample FPX files with a Date / Time column
  • Altium:
    • Added a new translator option for outputting Stroke Text Font

FIXED:
  • Calculator:
    • Updated Footprint Naming convention for parts with Thermal Tabs. The L X W was backwards.
    • To update your FPX file Footprint Names select – “Tools > Regenerate Library > Names”
    • Added the DPAK Thermal Tab data to the Footprint Name
    • SON with Thermal Tab produced an incorrect Thermal Pad when building the footprint in Batch Build (instead of Build Part)
  • FP Designer:
    • When adding a FP Designer part with a Thermal Pad to FPX, the program was changing the 50% Paste Mask Reduction to 100%
    • When naming a Footprint with Case Code, the program now replaces periods with an underscore _ and lower case letters with UPPER case
  • CAD Tool Translators:
    • Not outputting the Triangle Polarity Marker
  • Allegro/OrCAD PCB:
    • Fixed an issue with D-Shape pad pin text coming out upside down when the Pad was rotated
    • D-shaped Pads now have their pin number rotated properly for 180 and 270 degrees to match what is done with the symmetrical pads. This will cause a D-Shaped Pad Stack to be created for each rotation.
    • When you map Component Outline to PLACE_BOUND_TOP, Poly Component Outlines will now properly be built as shapes rather than lines
