    • KiCad: crashes building PADS-to-CAD parts
  • 3D STEP Output:
    • STEP file was not saving to selected output directory in some cases for most CAD tools
  • Options:
    • Terminals > Surface Mount > Inward L Flat Ribbon – had duplicate terminal option
    • Components > Through-hole > Mounting Holes had an unnecessary dropdown for Origin
    • Turning off Drafting > Courtyard > Add Outline to Footprint did not work as intended
    • Components > Surface Mount > SODFL/SOFL pin 1, 2 and more than 2 pins added
  • FP Designer:

  • Calculators:
    • QFN – the silkscreen outline was not adhering to the Clearance Option
    • LCC – The pad length calculations need to be adjusted
