But in the actual files are found pins like:

Pin(0 0 70 30 70 28 "" "1" 0x00000101)

Note the extera two parameters. What are they?



PCB accepts five different pin syntaxes, to support backwards compatibility. The latest is as follows:

Pin(X Y Thickness Clearance Mask DrillingHole Name PinNumber Flags)




Pin Macro:
x, y, thickness, clearance, mask, drilling hole, name, number, flags


x,y - location of center of hole

thickness - size of pad surounding hole

clearence - seperation between pad and surrounding polygons

mask - shadow mask clearence

drilling hole - size of drill bit

name - name of hole text

number - hole number for an object

flags - make the pad square et al
