Quick determination of pad size

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

image Does anyone know how to determine the pad size of a component that has already been placed on a board. I know if I want to determine the trace width for example, I can just right click and choose properties. But I try right clicking on a component pad and choosing properties it just brings up the properties of the part itself, NOT just the pad. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff

    I generally use the Mark tool to set a local reference on one edge of

    the pad then move my cursor to the other edge and read off the distance.

    Not ideal....it would be nice to just inspect pads the way you can

    inspect traces and vias.

    Thanks for your reply Andrew. I will give your tip a try. I also think it would be very handy to be able to just click on the pad and have the size shown.
