I have a question for teardrops expert, I applied to my present job and found that some pin did didn't get the teardrop because the trace wasn't properly connected I corrected and then reentered the teardrops command. I then turned off the pads layer and notice that several pins had a double teardrop is this normal? or I caused by reentering the command few times? Is there the way to remove the teardrops if extensive correction need to be made on layout? if not I suppose that this operation must be done as a very last step. Vinny
