When building a Oscillator Corner Concave.

In the generated padstack the Y width exceeds the X width and has a 270 degree rotation.



The pad could better be generated with a 0 degrees rotation and a X width exceeding the Y width.

This keeps the Pad Stack Library cleaner with less entries.

Regards,

Wim.

In our tool it doesn’t matter. Pin orientations will change with part re-orientation.

 Things like this are cleaned up when converted to the target CAD tool format.

This is the default view when making a part.
The pad orientation is "270" and should be "0".

If you use the Padstack Designer you can't create an offset in the Padstack when Y exceeds X.
So i.m.o. always let X exceed Y.

If you convert to Expedition ASCII out rotations are not cleaned up.
So we have one pad with orientation "0" and one pad with "180"
