FP Designer Tab Sequence Printed From: PCB Libraries Forum Category: PCB Footprint Expert Forum Name: Questions & Answers Forum Description: issues and technical support URL: https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1131 Printed Date: 19 Nov 2024 at 1:42am Topic: FP Designer Tab Sequence Posted By: jameshead Subject: FP Designer Tab Sequence Date Posted: 08 Oct 2013 at 4:10am The tab sequence for the data entry text fields in the FP Designer isn't intuitive. I'd expect to go down the window in order: Units > Shape > Lengh (X) > Wdith (Y) > height (Z) > Courtyard Excess > etc. Instead there's:   Units > height (Z) > Shape > Lengh (X) > Wdith (Y) > Courtyard Excess > etc. A little annoying if you've clicked in the Lengh (X) field and then tried to use tab to go through the rest. Replies: Posted By: jameshead Date Posted: 08 Oct 2013 at 4:16am The tab sequence in the Pad Stack Designer window in FP Designer is also not intuitive, it goes all over the place. I'd expect: Lead Shape > X > Y Hole Shape > Fab level > Plated Assy Dwg > X Instead there's Lead Shape > Y > X Hole Assy Dwg > Shape > X > Plated I expect to tab left to right and then top to bottom.

Posted By: Jeff.M Date Posted: 09 Oct 2013 at 7:03am Got it.  For some reason I thought you were referring to actual control 'Tabs' not the keyboard tab order. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - Twitter - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn
