[PEDA] Vias do not tent when expected

2004-03-03 Thread Leo Potjewijd
Hi. I just discovered something strange: I like my vias tented so I keep the tenting checkbox in the default via settings dialog checked. While interactively routing a PCB I noticed that the automatically placed vias did not get tented (and the forementioned checkbox is still checked) I do

[PEDA] Pads and single pin connectors.

2004-03-03 Thread ravenrux
Hey guys, I've got a problem I can't figure out. We do a lot of interconnect with wires soldered into a single pad. We generally designate them as E?. I cannot figure out how to relate the pad to the schematic. I've tried using the one pin CON1 out of the library. I've tried naming a

maybe the pad of the E is not the same number as the pin of your one pin Dennis Saputelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey guys, I've got a problem I can't figure out. We do a lot of interconnect with wires soldered into a single pad. We generally designate them as E?. I cannot figure

I'm guessing your PCB object is a free pad??? I'm also guessing you don't have a PCB footprint defined in your 'CON1' sch part?? An object on the schematic needs to match an object on the PCB. If you use the CON1 sch part, you need to assign a footprint to it. I have a footprint called PAD100

Yes, I have. I've even gone so far as to cut the designator out of the net list and paste it into the designator field of the pad. Still didn't help. Any other ideas? Michael From: Dennis Saputelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2004/03/03 Wed PM 12:40:23 EST To: Protel EDA Forum [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Okay, that seems to be part of the problem, but it raises another question. Does the single pad in question have to be on the master schematic? I can get the pads on the master to work, but the sub-drawings are still being difficult. Thanx, Michael Badillo * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

No they don't have to be, but I put them there. The single pad part is just like any other part. If you can have a resistor on a schematic 2 levels deep, then a single pad part can be there too. I put ALL connectors at the top level because this graphically indicates what leaves the board. I

in 99SE the via tenting attribute (and/or the override) will take precendence over a design rule expansion amount as it should IMO i have never seen one be untented mysteriously, but maybe i never noticed it Dennis Saputelli Ian Wilson wrote: On 12:28 AM 4/03/2004, Leo Potjewijd said: Hi.
