The pads are through hole single side only (not SMT). This particular board I'm working on is single sided however it started out as double sided. As things progressed I realised it would all route on a single layer.
I can't change the layer stack manager to a single sided board (it seems to think the top layer is being used - but it's not). So I changed all the multilayer pads to bottom layer, hence they had to have their plated attribute turned off. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Haddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, 20 September 2002 11:03 > To: Protel EDA Forum > Subject: Re: [PEDA] Unplated pads > > > Are you referring to genuine single sided pads (e.g. surface > mount pads), > or pads with holes that only exist on one side of the board? > > If the former, then I can't imagine why the board shop would make the > request it did, since the pad master would be generated > correctly for the > layer required.
