Modify design Padstack with Flash Symbol doesn't work

Ananas
Ananas over 1 year ago

I have following Problem:

I want to edit my local Pastemask of an IC, so the solderpaste has a cross in it.

Therefore I changed, in the Pad Editor, the Pastemask_Top to a self drawn Flash Symbol,

When i update to Design and Exit, it changes the Pastemask to Outside Dimensions of the Flash Symbol, but the cross isnt there.

When i go in the Pad Editor again, i see, that the Geometry Dropdown Menu changed to Rectangle again, but the Flash symbol is still there two rows below.

    Hello Ananas,

    I've followed your instructions and have not been able to reproduce the issue. I've modified a padstack indiidually (the instance not the definition) and after creating a flash symbol and assigning it to its pastemask_top layer, this is the result: 

    You can see how the padstack on the left side has the cross and the one of the right side doesn't. Let me also show you how it looks in the padstack editor:

    What Hotfix are you using? if the issue persists, I might have to contact you separately so you can share the database you're having issue with and I can take a look at it.
