Pad Stack Always X Exceed Y

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

   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"
