The Ref Des Label is 270 deg. so that the Name starts at the Bottom and goes to the top.

If the Label was 90 deg. the Name would start at the top.

Maybe we'll put in a Preference to allow the user to select the Ref Des Label rotation.

Hi Nick.
Seems working, but why is the label always turned 270 deg. and max sized?
Cheers, ...

OK, this is a bug and we're going to release V2016.14 later today.

In the meantime, you can create that 4-pin SIP in FP Designer with Oblong PTH pad stacks in less than 3 minutes.

Thank you for reporting this issue.

Nope, I came from Through Hole/Single In-Line Package (SIP), where I have entered all my data.
It's from here it would be useful to enter the FP Designer. (with data intact) Wink

Did you select the "Body" tab and enter the package dimensions?

Tried that, but all data except the pins disappeared. Not very useful.

There is a button to move your Calculator part to FP Designer.

However, these component families will not transfer - DPAK, TO220, TO92, Mounting Holes, AluminumElectrolytic Capacitor.

OK Tom , I see. But, it seems like a 2-stage takeoff.
May I request a button that takes me to FP Designer directly (with the data already created)?

And I still want to name it acc. to IPC-std.
Perhaps with a note/naming that user defined padstack is used.

Cheers, ...
