    • 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.

  • FP Designer:
    • Pad Stack Manager – updated the feature for renaming pad stacks to include spaces in the name.
