How to get a report showing padstack (and shapes used in it) library path ?

jc teyssier

Hello group,

in my company the padpath and psmpath can be customized for each project: doing this allow to have different copper annular ring and soldermask opening depending on project seting

For verifications purpose, i need to get a report showing:

- From where padstacks was taken on disk (show element on a pin ou via show ,the related library path, as per symbols but it is not really a report).

- From where the shapes used in padstack was taken on disk.

Someone have idea about to get this?

    Hello  jc teyssier , You can have a look at Padstack Usage Report which can give you library path for each pad file

    Hello,

    i do not need the name (well, i also need in order to find the path) but the path from where where find the .ssm file, here LTUMODULEPIN1SM.ssm

    In my library several definition exist for same shape name ; the path to use the right shape is project dependant (example: distance from soldermask to copper). I need to get this path for quality control purpose.
