The updated pad stacks only refers to Solder Mask and Paste Mask on FP Designer parts.
 
It does not include any Calculator parts.
 
Steps:
  1. Open the FP Designer Part
  2. Select the Pad Stacks toolbar icon
  3. Select a pad stack
  4. Select "Add Layer"
  5. For SMD parts add: Top Mask and Top Paste
  6. For PTH parts add: Top Mask and Bottom Mask

If you can't figure it out, send us your FP Designer parts and we'll update them immediately and send them back to you.

I need to make sure all my parts have the solder mask fix that was required when upgrading to .12

I am on .14 and ready to move up to .15.  However, I do not recall which parts in my 7 fpx libraries were done with FP designer.  How can I tell by inspection?

Do you have an automated script that will fix all?  There are 50-100 parts to sift through all together.
