Version      : 2025b.25q4

Build Date : Oct 2025

interCAD Editor

New Function

- Added color customization feature for NTH Pins

Bug Fix

- Fixed issue where dotted line types in schematics were drawn incorrectly when the segment length was too short

- Fixed issue where certain Zuken drawings were not displayed in Running Application mode

- Resolved abnormal termination issue during PADS to Xpedition conversion

- Fixed issue where executing another Dimension type during Review > Dimension without closing the previous one would cancel the operation

- Fixed issue where Non-Plated Holes appeared in black when opening old IXD files

- Improved MessageBox behavior to stay on top and prevent it from being hidden behind interCAD Editor

- Fixed issue where the Grid ComboBox became active when reopening an IXD file saved with Grid turned off

- Fixed issue where long messages were cut off in MessageBox displays

- Fixed issue where an unsupported message appeared when executing Export DXF in PADS

- Fixed abnormal termination issue when converting GfxShape composites during DXF conversion

UI Changed

- Improved behavior to display a message when the interCAD version is lower than the version recorded in the IXD file (only updates the IXD version when the issue-related version is detected)

Feature Improvements

- Added area property to non-fill shapes (e.g., Silkscreen, Solder Mask)

- Improved ActiveLayer Only mode so Allegro Boundary layers are not displayed

- Added a runtime safeguard to prevent abnormal termination when older interCAD versions attempt to read IXD files saved with future revisions

- During Measure, the StatusBar now displays ΔX, ΔY, and Distance

- Enabled selection of Hatch Fill objects

- In Net Color/Visibility, updated colors now display immediately after changes

- In Gerber Object Move/Rotate, added grid snap and in-place rotation (Ctrl + R)

- Fixed an issue where SetOrigin with snap applied produced incorrect point values

Zuken Update

- Fixed an issue during Zuken Import where PadStack pads were missing due to a bug in the GetClone function

Allegro Update

- Fixed issue where KeepOutline for all layers was missing during Allegro Import

- Improved module that converts special characters or strings exceeding length limits into _ during Allegro Export

- Fixed issue where Plane Shapes were missing during Allegro Import

- Restored the previous module behavior where only special characters are replaced with _, as Korean characters were being incorrectly replaced as well during Allegro conversion (Yes this indicates that the module had been modified earlier and has now been reverted to preserve Korean text)

- Fixed issue where attached text containing special characters on components was not converted during Allegro export

- Fixed issue where SolderMask for multi-pad components was not converted during Allegro export

- Fixed issue where unfilled polyline-type fills were not converted during Allegro export

- Improved Rats generation accuracy during Allegro conversion

- Restored previous behavior for Route Border to Box conversion in Allegro to Xpedition, as converting it caused PlaneShapes to extend beyond the BoardOutline region

- Fixed issue where component data was missing when opening Allegro Ascii exported from interCAD

- Fixed issue where cavities were missing when scaling thick Fill shapes during Allegro conversion

- Improved Text conversion rules and accuracy during Allegro conversion

- Improved preprocessing for Polyline and Trace handling during Allegro conversion

Xpedition Update

- Added CrossProbing support in Xpedition Component/Net Explorer when using mouse click (keyboard input not supported)

- Fixed issue where Plane Shapes were missing during Xpedition Import due to a bug in the Parent detection module

- Fixed incorrect assignment of InputArea for HatchFill during Xpedition Import

- Added Hatch support when exporting in Plane Shape mode to Xpedition

- Modified Trace/Via KeepOutline to be converted appropriately as Plane Obstruct during Xpedition export

- Fixed issue where Dynamic Fill was missing during Xpedition Export

- Fixed issue where HatchFill was not converted in PlaneShape mode during Xpedition Export

- Added Net multi-select support during Xpedition CrossProbing

- Fixed issue where SMD Vias located at the same coordinates across multiple layers were not converted during Xpedition export

Altium Update

- Improved handling of Pin-related issues during Altium Import, including angle, mirroring, and duplicate PinNumber cases

Gerber Update

- Fixed issue during Gerber Import where Oblong and Polygon-type negatives were not rendered

ODB++ Update

- Improved ODB++ Import to retain the original NetName instead of converting it to uppercase
