Version 2016.04 was just released!!

NEW / ENHANCED:

Calculator:

3-pin DFN – Added the IC component family

Preferences:

Updated the “Drafting > Legend > Auto-generate Pin 1 Indicator Line” to include 2-pin parts
Updated all the wireframe models for editing color assignments
Updated solder mask size resolution to 3 decimal places

FP Designer:

Updated the Finish Tab to automatically add spaces to the Case Code if it is used to generate the Footprint Name
Removed the period . as an illegal character for a footprint name

3D STEP:

Updated all the wireframe models for editing color assignments

CR-8000:

Added a new option for CR-8000. The only difference between this and CR-5000 is that radius values will be built properly per spec. It’s a known bug in Zuken CR-5000 that the radius of a curve must be negative to display properly. This was fixed in Zuken CR-8000 and the output for this translator has now been adjusted to match, while allowing the CR-5000 that is correct to remain the same.

CADSTAR:

Added support for CADSTAR 17

Allegro/OrCAD PCB:

Added keep-outs
If using a Courtyard No Probe Area, the No Probe Area will be circular for Radial Electrolytic, Radial Inductor, and Radial LED Land Patterns

FIXED:

3D STEP:

Fixed an issue that was causing XTAL’s to not expand their height properly
When the material condition is set to Maximum or Minimum in the 3D window, if a Maximum or Minimum value does not exist for a parameter, the Nominal value will now be used

CADSTAR:

Terminal Outlines will be mapped to the Component Outline (Top 3D Model Outline by default) layer

Expedition:

Fixed an issue with thermal tab paste mask, when the thermal tab is offset from the origin
