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
opps old job confusing me... not shadow mask.... but solder mask....
solder mask being a covering material which prevents solder from
sticking .. causing shorts to a copper area... trace ...
polygon...whatever.
drilling hole - size of drill bit
name - name of hole text
number - hole number for an object
flags - make the pad square et al
