skill program to create shape symbol

Ejlersen

Hi

Attached, find a small utility to help creating rectangular shapes with rounded corners for shape symbols to be used inside a pad

Usage: File, New, Shape symbol

Run the program "ns_spad"

Add width(x), height(y) and a radius in the dialog shown

Hit run to create the shape.

Have fun :-)

Ole

    the example file 

    %cdsroot%/share/pcb/examples/skill/dbcreate/pad.il

    will create 2 pad files 

    MY_PAD and SMT_PAD

    it will not create a physical PAD file but will create the pad definition inside the allegro database

    to see them go to Tools-> Padstack->Modify Design Padstack

    Now you should see those definitions

    you could either save them by Editing and invoking the padstack editor or File->Export->libraries and chooseonly padstack

    as mentioned in the help doc this will not work in the symbol editor

     

    I can see that using this you could create a quick SMT pad on the fly and replace an existing pad
