Different pad sizes

autodeskguest

Hi there...

 

Can a pad have different sizes on the Top and Bottom layers, i.e. large

on Bottom layer and small/non-existent on Top layer?  If so how is it

done?  This is for one component only, not global on the pcb...

 

Thanks, regards

Lance

    There is only a global parameter for this: Design Rules, Restring.

    To have it different for a single component, you could simply draw

    the bigger pad/copper area in bottom layer in the layout. For example

    with a filled circle or a polygon. Don't forget to check solder

    stop mask.
