OK. Understand. I did not realize there were two screens that looked the same but operated differently.
 
Thanks

When you change the Hole Size where? 
  1. The Pad Stack Designer?
  2. The Pad Stack Manager?
The pad stack should always update if when you change the Hole Size in the Pad Stack Designer. 

The Pad Stack Manager is to allow the user to "Off-Road" and ALL pad stack values must be manually changed. 

This is a feature, not a bug.

It is in FP designer. When you enter a new thru hole padstack the thermals and anti-pads are calculated. When you change the hole size they are not recalculated. ]]> Thu, 31 Aug 2017 07:11:30 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/fp-designer-hole-size-issue_topic2200_post9103.html#9103 <![CDATA[FP Designer Hole Size Issue : Assuming you mean the pad stack...]]> https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/fp-designer-hole-size-issue_topic2200_post9102.html#9102 Author: Jeff.M

Assuming you mean the pad stack manager (not pad stack designer) - where you can individually and directly change any element of a pad stack - the thermals are not recalculated.  In fact nothing is calculated.  All pad stack component changes must be manually entered.]]> Thu, 31 Aug 2017 07:07:37 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/fp-designer-hole-size-issue_topic2200_post9102.html#9102 <![CDATA[FP Designer Hole Size Issue : Thanks Tom ]]> https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/fp-designer-hole-size-issue_topic2200_post9073.html#9073 Author: lalexman

We'll have to wait on this one until Jeff gets back from vacation on Monday August 21.

In the meantime, all the values are user definable manually until the automatic functions are fixed. 

What I would do as a workaround, create a new pad stack with the correct Hole Size and delete the wrong one.

In the Footprint Designer. if you change the hole size and regenerate the pad stack, thermal and anti-pads are not recalculated correctly. ]]> Mon, 31 Jul 2017 18:01:49 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/fp-designer-hole-size-issue_topic2200_post9071.html#9071
