How to Add via array for oblong shapes pad

RohitRohan
RohitRohan 10 months ago

Dear Community,

I am currently working on adding a via array around an oblong-shaped pad. While I have successfully implemented via arrays across the board and around circular pads, I am facing challenges in configuring the via array to surround the oblong-shaped pad.

Could anyone please provide guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this configuration?

Regards,

Rohit Rohan

    To add a via array around an oblong-shaped pads-
    1 Go to Place>Via Array command.
    2 Enable Pins in the Find filter.
    3 In the Options panse, set the Array parameters type to 'Surrounding' and set other parameters.
    4 Click on the oblong pad to see the preview of the via array.
    5 Once you are fine with the pattern shown, click anywhere on the design canvas to place the via array around the oblong pad selected.

    When you click on the oblong pad to see the preview of the array, and if the pattern is not as you are expecting it to be, then you can change the parameters in the options pane as per your requirement, and after that you can see if it as per your expectation.
