SMD Pads

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 17 years ago

When designing an SMD package with the library editor, the size of the

solderstop window as well as the size of the solder cream window are

generated automatically based on the size of the pad. By default, the

solderstop is slightly larger than the copper pad and the soldercream is

identical to the copper pad (at least in version 4.11 that I'm still using).

 

I have looked for a way to change these default setting but couldn't find

any setting or preference to do so. Now, here are my questions :

 

- is there a way to modify the over- or undersize of soldercream with

respect to the copper pad?

 

- if not, can I set the pads to "NOCREAM" and manually draw a

rectangle/polygon on the respective cream layer to have a cream pattern with

a specific oversize (or undersize) with respect to the copper pad's

dimensions?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Robert

    BTW CadSoft, any chance you can rename "cream" to "paste" in the English

    versions? Cream is something we add to our coffee image

     

    I have to admit that I can't recall why this was named "cream" in

    the first place image

     

    However, if we change this now, there would be incompatibilities

    for ULPs and scripts that access layers by name. Plus it wouldn't

    fit the description in the manual and tutorial any more.

     

    I'm afraid it would cause more trouble than it fixes...
