For footprints with thermal pads, add a 'Thermal Pads on Assembly' setting to allow separate settings to 'Pads on Assembly'. I can envisage wanting filled pads for all but the thermal pads (where I might choose, either none or outline instead of filled), so that the Assembly layer Ref.Des is always visible. Regards, Ian |

For all component families that support Thermal Pads, select the "Settings" tab and use the drop-down "Tabs on Assembly".  ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |
