Add 'Thermal Pads on Assembly' Option

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

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".
