 Topic: Double sided edge connector footprintPosted: 25 Jan 2021 at 7:16am |

Is it possible to specify pads on opposite side of the board when creating a fpx file? I am trying to create the "tongue" mating part for an edge connector. This requires pads on both sides of the board.
How can I do that please? It also needs a slot can this be added? Thanks NeilVP

Yes, in the FP Designer Pad Stack Editor you can create a pad stack on the "Top" or "Bottom" or "Both".
You can also create slotted holes and even offset slotted hole. This feature is only in the V2020 Library Expert Enterprise version but it will also be in the free V2021 Footprint Expert Pro and V2021 Footprint Expert Enterprise version when it's released in 2 weeks. |

Is the DPI issue fixed in the 2021 version?

We cannot reproduce the DPI issue with our 4K computers.
V2021 will be released in 2 weeks. |

4K monitors are not very expensive these days. Maybe buy one (or a few)? I suspect many of your customers are using them now. (The extra resolution is super helpful in PCB layout.) Also, a 4K monitor is not required to simulate the high-DPI issues. In Windows 10, just go to Settings / System / Display, and under Scale and Layout, try all of the standard scales above 100% (125, 150, 200, 225, 250, etc.). This will work even on low-DPI screens, and you should be able to reproduce any high-DPI issues this way. The UI will be huge, of course, but that's okay. That will just make the issues easier to see.
