Right Angle Route/Slot in Padstack?

melview1

I'm looking for advice on how to create an odd shaped padstack for some mounting pads on a USB connector (see top 2 mounting pads in picture).  It's a plated slot/route that has a right angle and the pad is the same shape.  The pad shouldn't be that hard to do with the "shape symbol" option for the pad layers, but the drill has me at a loss as to the best way to do it.

Thanks.

  • There is no provision to do Path Operations for routing boards in the Cadence tool so you will have to go another route instead.

    Create the pad using a shape on all layers you need. Inside the pad you could do a void to represent what the actual slot will look like.

    Call out on your Fab Drawing what you wish to have routed out. At the board house what they will do is basically create a path for a specific bit so your board can be routed out.

    Hope this helps.
