 Topic: Pad Stack ManagerPosted: 03 Nov 2016 at 4:09am |

I'm creating a 4-pin SIP Hall sensor (Allegro A1363) FP and want to increase pad clearance by using an oblong pad instead of a round one, but Pad Stack Manager won't let me do that.
Why? Cheers, ...  |

You Must create this part in FP Designer. The Calculator does not have a Oblong Through-hole pad stack option. |

OK Tom , I see. But, it seems like a 2-stage takeoff.
May I request a button that takes me to FP Designer directly (with the data already created)? And I still want to name it acc. to IPC-std. Perhaps with a note/naming that user defined padstack is used. Cheers, ... |

There is a button to move your Calculator part to FP Designer. However, these component families will not transfer - DPAK, TO220, TO92, Mounting Holes, Aluminum
Electrolytic Capacitor.  |

Tried that, but all data except the pins disappeared. Not very useful.

Did you select the "Body" tab and enter the package dimensions?  |

Nope, I came from Through Hole/Single In-Line Package (SIP), where I have entered all my data.
It's from here it would be useful to enter the FP Designer. (with data intact)   |

OK, this is a bug and we're going to release V2016.14 later today. In the meantime, you can create that 4-pin SIP in FP Designer with Oblong PTH pad stacks in less than 3 minutes. Thank you for reporting this issue. |
