2021.08 was just released!!

 
Updates & Bugs Fixed:

  • CAD Tools:
    • Allegro/OrCAD PCB – fixed an issue with the “Pad on Assembly” outline was going to the Silkscreen Layer.
  • Calculator Component Families:

    • BGA – fixed an issue with Non-collapsing ball saved to FPX and reopened as Collapsing.
    • Several 2-Pin Component Families – when the component tolerance is 0.00 and the Map Outline to Body > Nominal the outline would flatline.

    • LCC – under certain conditions with dimensions and tolerances, pin 1 would inadvertently relocate from the Left Center to the Lower Left.
    • 4-Pin DFN – when using the mfr. recommended pattern, pins 3 & 4 did not follow the mfr. dimensional values.
    • Header, Right Angle Post and Shrouded – the footprint name had 0 for package height and the Physical Description had 0.00 for Height.
  • FP Designer:
    • Pad Stack Manager – updated the feature for renaming pad stacks to include spaces in the name.
    • Footprint Name – selecting Case Code or Part Number did not register as a change.
