Hello,

What is the difference between mounting holes which are created with checked/unchecked "Supported" option?

Is there any documentation about this feature? I use the Library Expert Lite 2013.20.



Best regards
Guido

These are IPC-7351 terms:

Supported = Plated

Unsupported = Non-plated

If the programmer does not repute important to change the word "Supported" to "Plated"
He can add a tooltip that appear when the mouse go on the Check box icon that display the sentence:
"Supported means Plated, unchecked means Non-Plated"

Why aren't you using V2014.11? It's available to you here - http://www.pcblibraries.com/Downloads" rel="nofollow - www.pcblibraries.com/Downloads

OK, after further discussion with the programmers, we are changing the GUI text "Supported" to "Plated" in the next release V2014.12 coming out this weekend.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.
