Hello,

how can I define additional settings when generating outputs (Padstacks) for Siemens EDA - Xpedition?

Currently when generating Padstack.hkp files to be imported into EDM Librarian the names for PADs/HOLEs are very rudimentary and do not follow the Xpedtion naming scheme nor the IPC recommendation.

When generating an unencrypted ASCII export I've also noticed that the option "AUTO_GENERATED_NAME" is set for Holes which than isn't true.

Therefore now my question: How can I influence the definition of the pad/hole names and the additional settings as marked in the example?

Thanks.
