UI Changed

- Fixed issue where clicking the minimize button opened the website when a Signature was present

- Displayed Translator menu in interCAD Reader (button disabled with message displayed)

- Added unavailable message when executing RestrictedArea in Gerber or schematics

Feature Improvements

- Added functionality to capture the current View or entire drawing as a Vector Image (no distortion when zoomed, within 2MB)

- Improved OrCAD Capture Import so that PinName and PinLabel are correctly reflected when PinSwap is applied

- Improved stability and performance for Gerber Objects during Select Filter operations such as Mouse Over

- Fixed flickering of Grid Title when clicking while a Tooltip is displayed due to long text length

- Improved Snapshot > Entire Board to capture exactly as displayed in Fit > Fit Board

- Improved drawing performance for Objects being moved using the Move function

PADS Update

- Improved conversion so that unfilled Shapes are converted to Lines during PADS to Zuken conversion

- Fixed incorrect Pad Angle conversion during PADS to Zuken conversion

- Improved conversion so that decimal values of component and Pin Angles are not rounded during PADS to Zuken conversion

- Fixed conversion failure due to mismatched Layer Pairs (e.g., only Bottom layer existing) during PADS to Zuken conversion

Zuken Update

- Applied rounding for values of 0.9999 during Zuken Write

- Fixed incorrect Fill ApertureSize during Zuken Write

- Converted TearDrops that cannot be converted to TearDrop into Fill during Zuken Write

- Fixed incorrect drawing of Oblong Width/Length during Zuken Import

- Improved behavior so that excessively generated unused Layers are deleted during Zuken Import

- Fixed Memory Leak issue during Zuken conversion

- Improved conversion by adding missing unsupported characters to allow proper conversion to Zuken

Allegro Update

- Fixed issue where Allegro Design Entry HDL Import was executed twice

- Fixed issue where Sheets were not drawn during Allegro Design Entry HDL Import

- Fixed issue where Scale was not applied during Allegro Design Entry HDL Import

- Fixed issue where certain drawings could not be opened during Allegro Design Entry HDL Import

- Improved Allegro CrossProbe Skill installation to load files installed in the %APPDATA% environment variable, preventing reinstallation when users change

- Improved Allegro Import so that RefDes.PinNumber is displayed on Pins

- Fixed abnormal termination of interCAD Editor during wiring and Pin coordinate error compensation in Allegro conversion

- Fixed issue where allegro.ilinit was completely overwritten if not in WindowText format during Allegro Skill distribution, and added backup creation

- Improved conversion so that irregular Pads with line width, such as Donut shapes, are converted more smoothly when converting to Allegro and Xpedition

Xpedition Update

- Improved Part mapping during Xpedition conversion

- Fixed abnormal termination during Guide Update in Xpedition conversion

- Improved conversion so that Pads on non-Physical Layers are converted to component Shapes

- Improved conversion so that Donut Void shapes are converted to Circles when the Void radius is 0 (radius equals line width)

- Improved conversion so that irregular Pads with LineWidth are converted to outer Polygons when Filled, and to Segments when not Filled

- Improved conversion so that only the Outline is converted for non-Filled Fills designed as Negative

- Improved conversion so that Symbol Pads with Offset whose Origin exists outside the Pad Shape are converted to irregular Pads

- Improved conversion so that conversion proceeds even when PowerLayers are merged in BoardStation

- Improved conversion so that default inner layer Pads are not removed when removing unused Pads of BuildupVias

- Improved conversion so that overlapping Vias with duplicated Layers are converted to Vias with a wider range

- Stabilized Xpedition conversion to prevent abnormal termination of interCAD Editor

- Improved conversion handling for NotFlip Pads from BoardStation

- Fixed missing Pads in Padstacks that have Pads only on the Bottom layer when components are placed on the Top layer during Xpedition conversion

- Fixed missing NTH during Xpedition conversion

- Improved conversion so that inner layer Shapes of DrawingCells are drawn directly on the Board (unsupported in Xpedition)

- Improved conversion so that inner layer Pads of SMDs are converted to Conductive Shapes (unsupported in Xpedition)

- Improved conversion so that Pads of TP Vias are not converted to inner layer Pads

- Improved conversion so that Text with size less than or equal to 0.0 is not converted

Board Station Update

- Fixed issue where Scale and Mirror were not applied when Pins were added to components as AddGeom during BoardStation Import
