When did the direction of the E1 offset on SIP packages get flipped? 

It bit me on a new design, where a regenerated footprint had a mirrored layout. 

I think the new way is OK, I was just surprised.

The E1 dimension is for the 'Offset' from the center. 

If the pins are centered, do not enter a E1 dimension as it's Optional. 

There is no SIP 'Mirror' feature in the current V26.07 release.
