Pads

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 16 years ago

Hi again,

Sorry for the newbie question but I'm really at my wit's end.

I would like to change the diameter of the pads to the passive components on

the already routed board image but the CHANGE command won't let me, even if

the Pads layer is active. All I get is a rude noise, even while the status

bar tells me to left-click on the component I want to change.

Also, it would make my life a lot easier if I could duplicate a section of

the board elsewhere on the same board without having to do it in the

schematic editor. Imagine 2 channels of a stereo system placed side by side

with interconnecting circuitry routed manually. This would look neater, not

to mention making trouble-shooting a lot easier on the actual physical

hardware.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,

Martin

    I think vendors should value input from their customers.

     

    Please, guys, let's not let this thread escalate image

     

    With the new envisioned datastructure of version 6 we plan

    to make it possible to overwrite pad data like shape or diameter

    on a per pad basis in the board. We are also thinking about

    implementing a way of "cutting off" edges from pads, as shown

    in the attached image (which is a fake - this feature is not yet

    implemented ;-).
