   2022.10 was just released!!

Updates & Bugs Fixed:
Library Editor:
Library sort didn’t work right after renaming column
CAD Interfaces:
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:
Creating a Thermal Pad with a paste mask pattern, the Pad Stack Manger threw Exception errors when changing the Shape
Calculators:
QFN – the silkscreen outline was not adhering to the Clearance Option
LCC – The pad length calculations need to be adjusted
QFN with Thermal – Rotating the footprint so Pin 1 is Upper Left but the thermal chamfer was in Lower Left
Removed the “SMD Pad Stack Rules” panel from all Through-hole calculators
