Version 2018.01 was just released!!

NEW / ENHANCED:
  • Library Expert Lite:
    • LE Lite is now LE Pro to allow users to import FPX files from Parts on Demand (POD)
    • FP Designer has been turned on to allow the user to build custom parts
  • Altium Nexus:
    • Added Altium Nexus as new CAD tool interface
  • Drafting Shapes:
    • Added Solder Mask Top layer (for custom solder mask removal)
  • Symbol Expert:
    • Beta version is planned for March 2018, and will share FPX data files with Library Expert. In preparation, the master FPX file format was updated. Version 2017 FPX format files will auto-update on Save FPX, so if you have earlier FPX file versions, you will need to step them through version 2017 first.
      • Added a Footprint Column to save unique custom patterns (invisible in Library Editor)
      • Added Schematic Symbol column to save and retrieve Symbol Data (invisible in Library Editor)

FIXED:

    • Updated the Rule value for Minimum Solder Mask Web from 0.08 to 0.075
    • Fixed an issue with the TO Cylindrical rotation option not working correctly
  • PADS Layout:
