Importing vias in Allegro APD

Siraj Akhtar
Siraj Akhtar over 15 years ago
I want to know how to import via’s into Allegro APD.

 I have a file that contains the coordinates of my package vias. I want to import them into APD so that I don’t have to manually replace each via. I have a VIA_175 padstack already created that I want to use for these vias. How can I import this into APD?

Alternatively, I have tried importing a gds that contains the vias. I can bring this into APD as a conductor or as a shape, but I can’t figure out how to replace these so that they are now VIA’s using the VIA_175 padstack.

Any thoughts?

    Are you saying that you have a file with the coordinates for a BGA footprint? 

    Use Add-->BGA-->BGA Text in Wizard.

    You can specify the VIA_175 as part of that process.
