changing plating diameter on padstack editor

myil17

hi Everyone,

I have a design which needs to be transfer into cadence pcb editor environment. There are some drilling pads that confuse me how to create them.
The inner diameter of the circular hole is 1.8 mm and outer diameter is 3 mm. I am also having difficulties to understand the plating hole around the drilling hole.
I have the real pcb and wondering if it's possible to change this plating diameter on padstack editor? If somebody gives me a hand, I would appreciate it

    Hi it is not possible to change the actual plating in a hole in any pcb tool. The plating process is done at the board house. The things you can change would be pad size etc
    and the drilled hole size. One could also change the soldermask so as to either cover the drill hole completely or not.
