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. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

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"
