So then the whole concept of getting an oblong through-hole pad by having a pad overlapping a pin is fundamentally broken? There's a day of my life I'll never have back.
Pardon my French, but that is bogus. It's not like oblong through-hole pads are a new idea or anything. PCB needs first class support for oblong through-holes. I see that the thermal flag is actually getting set on the pins. It just doesn't render anything. I presume that the clearance area around the pad is killing off the thermal. I realize I can draw them in by hand by turning of "new traces clear polygons". I guess for this design that's what I'll have to do, because regenerating all my footprints, regenerating and re-validating the net list, and re-doing all the routing done so far is just too costly. *grump* I'm surprised John Luciani has never complained about this. -dave DJ Delorie wrote: > pcb doesn't support thermals on pads. > > _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
