Composite part with "real istic" pads

mrmarple

I've created a component, a DC-DC convertor.

 

An outline with a few circles and rectangles in layer 21 make a reasonable

looking package, adding four round corner pads results in a usable part.

 

However the part has four rectangular corner pads, not round pads and being

a bit anal about it I've been attempting to create rectangular pads but no

success so far.

 

Tried overlaying rectangles in the pad layer, overlaying rectangles in top

and bottom layers, creating/overlaying SMD pads top and bottom. Each

attempt has a problem, DRC layer abuse, tracks routed through the pads,

auto-router ignoring the pads even though air-wires show connections.

 

I'm sure there will be a way to doit, but not found it yet.

 

Thanks in advance! Ken.

    Hi Ken

    You can change the shape of a pad.

    In the package editor display the properties of the pad and change the

    'Shape' to square.

     

    Or .. In the package editor click 'Change > Shape > Square and then

    click on each of the 4 pads.
